> So, what can it do that I cant do in Director? I'd have to agree with Kerry... and I've disliked Flash from day one. It's getting much better on the dev side (they're finally making it a real scripting tool instead of a toy for designers), and it's more than clear that they are trying to position it to replace html. The "iHotelier" example makes all of my database geek friends drool.
But, to answer your question, nothing (except for dealing with Unicode - but I would expect that to change in the next cycle)... but it can do some things on the web a lot faster, which is by far the most important thing with web apps. Dir is still far more powerful, but Kerry's point is well taken - who's a better carpenter, the guy with a hammer or the one with a hammer and a saw? Well, actually, it's the guy with the tape measure, but you know what I mean. If they keep bringing Flash toward Dir, I'll be happy. My main problem with it is with the authoring environment. The two together make for a very solid suite. 2 centavos, Kurt [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]).
