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

[Phillip Kerman]

This discussion is now including "return on investment" for buying Director.

I still don't get it--do people buy a new copy of Director for every

project?  I suppose if you're only going to use it for one job, then you

should seriously consider the cost.


I look at it entirely differently.  I bought Director a million years ago...

and I upgrade it every time I can.  It's not super-cheap, but if I look at

my total income... ALL software / hardware costs amount to less than 10%.

If you can use it--it better be worth the cost.   In my opinion it is.


If people are so cost-conscious (and I'm not saying you should spend money

without thinking)... let me ask this: do you charge less to do a job in

Flash than Director because it costs less?  (I hope not.)


In the case of upgrading the Mac version, I do wait until I have a job to

justify the cost (one job is enough).  Yeah, I'd like it if Macromedia gave

me the Mac version!  But I also want them to keep developing/supporting new

products... so I don't mind paying a little to that end.
