Flash does a good job of synching animation to sound when the sound sync 

type is set to Stream.


Director has many additional features for controlling and polling sound. 

For example, it allows you to control multiple sound tracks at once. It can 

adjust relative volumes of sound tracks on the fly and it can poll how much 

of a sound has played. Because Director has a more powerful graphics 

display engine, it may be able to display more of the animation when 

syncing to sound than does Flash (which will sometimes drop animation 

frames to keep up), but I don't use Director regularly so I'm not as 

certain about that.
