Re: FLASH: CD Rom production - Director is so bogus --how do youdefine the end of this thread?

[Michael@BTW]

Director does a better job at displaying images w/o artifacts & handling

hi-res images in the playback environment. It also does a much better job of

handling large numbers of images in the authoring environment, for instance

with large numbers of hi-res graphics an fla is nearly unworkable (at ~100MB

on our P3/600s/256MB ram, anyway) w/as large director projects are much more

stable.


And of course you can't embed video in a Flash project at all.

Once you find all the dialogue boxes, sure. Its easier still if your app.

does not contain any links to other files, however (see above) it is often

nec. to use load movie calls to do large presentations in Flash, and then

the cross platform issues get more complicated. Of course all of this is

handled by Toast, so its not an issue of having Flash (or Director) on both

platforms.

Accomplishable, yes (w/o video), but Director is better at it. Interactive

QuickTime is also great, as likely will be WiMP once the local playback bugs

are worked out.
