Re: FLASH: Let me rephrase my question about Flash and Director

[Grimmwerks]

>If I learn Director in and out is there anything that Flash can do that

>Director can't. 



Err.....well it's gonna take some time son! 


Director can do multiuser connections, either peer to peer or through a 

multiuser server.....Director can be used to make full blown 

applications, web browsers, etc....so to answer your question, Director 

can do more....



BUT.....


my feeling is that there will be less and less .html on the web and they 

will be replaced by full flash websites....Flash itself will become the 

browser, the operating system...(that's what they were touting at the 

last UCON...they even showed a greyscale flash player on a palm!)...


The footprint for Flash is tiny. Now most people complain about Shockwave 

download times...I cn understand that, but that's usually the developer's 

fault rather than the medium....of course the message is the 

medium...er...never mind...


so if your company is interested in cutting edge and functional websites 

then I think Flash would be the way to go. Flash is more ubiquitous but 

Director can do more. Hard to explain but I see Flash as the regular 

Aliens and Director is the queen....but then again, I'm insane.
