RE: FLASH: Flash vs Director

[Matt Coyne]

Director is a serious tool for application development, hence the 

versatility and price. Flash was a tool primarily aimed at animation 

and simple interactivity on the web [prolly get flamed now] but is 

heading towards more practical web orientated functionality.


I personally think that director is best served as a cd based app 

developer/'presentation' tool. It certainly has the ability to create 

internet based shockwave files but it's limitations is the file size 

it creates for anything of worth. That's not to say I haven't seen 

good use of shockwave [director] on the web, mainly of the 

'experimental art based' sort.


Director is *very* versatile, *very* expensive [but good value], 

whilst flash is just sooooooooo funky....
