RE: FLASH: CD Rom production - Director is so bogus

[Branden Hall]

It would really not be possible because of how Director works...

If you know a little bit about Director you know that it often uses

external, compiled xtras, etc. to extend the capabilities.  These files are

not the same for both platforms, and dealing with all of the possibilities

of how the files would have to be arranged, etc for both platforms are

simply astronomical.

I would agree this has become a problem here to. Why do we have to purchase

two version just to get it Mac compatible. Heck Flash will publish Mac files

why can't Director? Sorry if I seem like I am ranting.. Budget doesn't allow

for both versions as well as a Mac to run it on.

You need to buy Director for both Platforms to output it to CD ROM?  That

is so bogus.

Do you have to do that for the web too?


Every other program I use extensively outputs for dual platforms.  IS

this a scam? or what?
