Anyone read the latest Edge? In response to this article <http://www.macromedia.com/go/CYXQ>, since she asked, I sent the email below.
Perhaps similar emails to her from others would help? :-) -- Mark Whybird. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Your Edge article Date: Fri, 03 Feb 2006 11:58:38 +0800 From: Mark Whybird <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Sara Thank you for your article in Adobe Edge. You asked for my thoughts and perspective - well here it is! I use a wide range of Adobe technologies, but my favorite remains Director. The very hands-on work of Tom Higgins in the Director community is greatly appreciated, and I would love to see Tom and the Director team get absolutely as much support as possible from Adobe. We all know that Flash is an important tool, and now does some of the things that were once Director's exclusive domain - but please do not for a moment consider Flash as ultimately the replacement for Director. Don't forget that to give Flash all of Director's capabilities, you would have to make the Flash plug in as big as the Director one, and quite frankly, Flash as a tool for making standalone (not web-based) applications is a really poor substitute. See our software at www.coolect.com for an example of a Director/Flash hybrid that absolutely could not have happened in Flash alone. There really does exist the opportunity for Adobe to market "Flash's big brother" alongside Flash - it is my fervent hope that the new merged company will see and seize that opportunity. Kind regards, Mark Whybird Team Leader www.coolect.com [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [email protected] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
