Coming from the Director world you know there are basic issues with some
of
the more basic elements, such as HTML text, in Director. In the meantime
bigger and badder items have been added to Director giving it more *WOW*
while basic issues were not addressed. (And, no, "Xtra" is not a solution
to
what should be a basic implementation.)
Absolutely (although don't forget that many Xtras are actually part of the
standard Director package: text support itself is wrapped in a standard
Xtra). Having said that, Director hasn't had much in the way of significant
improvements anywhere since D8.5 introduced 3D. We had Imaging Lingo (the
equivalent of BitmapData) since D7, about 6 years ago, but it has hardly
changed since then. Mostly, subsequent releases have been designed to bring
us up to speed with current developments in Flash.
I'm saying this, because it makes me wonder if the same is happening (will
happen) with Flash!
Already is. Many features of Flash have that sense of being half-done (XML
object, Text support and Sound spring to mind fairly quickly)
