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

[Michael Penne]

If you want to impress your boss quickly, go with

flash;-). For web page work, flash is better: greater

penetration of the player, easier download of the

plug-in (if you redirect to the somewhat hidden flash

4 rather than the shockmachine junk), and shorter

learning curve. Director is a much deeper program, but

better suited to application development than adding

spice/interactivity to web pages. Being said, if your

work involves creating _applications_ (or

presentations involving alot of photos) for

CD/intranet/internet delivery _and_ if your boss is

willing to wait for you to come up to speed in

Director (between 1 mo and 1 year depending on the

speed and your own horsepower;-), then get Director.
