Re: FLASH: FLASHJESTER CREATOR RELEASE!

[Russell E. Unger]

I have a lot of respect for you guys, but I'm wondering *a lot* about the

pricing scheme behind this.


I purchased Screenweaver for around $75.  Sure, there are some issues about the

control of the size of the window, etc, but issues can always be over come.


Cinemac is only $299 and it allows you to do the same with Director Movies...and

there's a lot of control you can take over in Director and then port Flash into.


I'm curious to know what was the rationale for the pricing method you folks came

up with.


It also seems to me that I could purchase your "full blown" version and charge

people 1/2 of what you do for the "Express Service" and make my money back.


I realize my message is a bit on the bitter sounding side, but this is *more

expensive* than the actual tool we use to create these projects in, to begin

with.  This just seems a bit, well, ludicrous on your pricing, and I really

don't feel I could pay such a price for a product.


I'm more than certain that you have offered a quality product; I just feel your

pricing is unfair.  This is not meant to start a Flame in regards to this topic.


My .02 and I'm done on it.
