There were some points in a column I wrote last week: http://www.macromedia.com/desdev/jd_forum/jd021.html There's additional material available here: http://www.macromedia.com/software/director/resources/integration/ (see sidebar "Flash and Director comparisons") It's possible to do some projects for CD successfully in Flash. But Flash Projectors are essentially just the web player, with a shell wrapped around it. Director's memory management alone usually trumps all for such non-websized projects. > They are flash people so they of course want to > produce the CD in flash. Well, I guess it's a good thing they're not "horse people", then.... ;-) (Seriously, that line of "but i know flash already" is a weak answer to "what's the best tool for this job"... they're smart, they know interactivity and design and testing, they have the ability to work with Director just as you do.) jd John Dowdell, Macromedia Developer Support, San Francisco (Best to reply on-list, to avoid my mighty spam filters!)
