Re: FLASH: CD Presentation

[Sam Bennett]

Authorware, in my opinion as a CBT producer, is a bad choice for CBT. It

does have the tracking, testing, etc- but I built my own in Lingo and it

works much better than the built in Authorware stuff. Authorware's just so

clunky- and god forbid you want to have users enter something into a text

field. I would rather spend a day at the dentist. With that being said (as I

stray) yes- you can write text out from director using the fileIO methods

included.
