:)  No worries - I know the feeling.  When I first started to use Director I

felt the same way.  I mean, I was used to working with Flash and I was used to

doing 'real' programming, in C/C++, Java, Modula-3, etc.  Director seemed

neither here nor there.


After I started getting used to what it COULD do, and learning how to make it

work for me, I started seeing why I'd use it in some situations and not others.

Don't get me wrong - I'd still prefer to use Flash, Java, or a combination of

HTML and a choice of ASP,PHP or JSP for most Web stuff, but I'd pick Director

over most of them for most CD stuff.  Just a personal choice.  But yeah, I know

exactly where you're coming from.  Had you talked to me when I was using

Director 6.5 I probably would have reacted much as you did.  Hehehe.

Always good news.  Incidentally, if you're looking for help with Director, you

might want to check out Direct-L - they're pretty darn quick at getting back to

you with help over there.  Find the links from www.director-online.com (I think

they're in either the Resources or Help sections).
