I've been asked to upgrade a CD (projector) done in 8.5 to MX for use on
System X and multiple platforms. Haven't upgraded my 8.5 to MX yet. Very
intimidated by the Macromedia Tech Note on creating projectors with MX,
system X for multiple platforms.
Don't be. The first time can be a little tricky, but after that it's cake.
After reading many discouraging notes on
several forums about developing with MX my instincts say forget about it.
Use 8.5 and system 9.2 for another year until MX gets simplified; you know,
autostart issues, multiple QuickTime installers, blinding array of xtras,
etc.
You don't need to worry about multiple QT installers. You won't find an OSX install without QuickTime; at the most you might need to provide an installer for pre-X systems. As for autostart -- that's never been a feature in wide use on Mac anyway. Mac users know how to locate a CD when it's inserted and how to locate and run an application.
Maybe I'm suffering from upgrade burnout. I guess I would just like to hear
from some of you who have had the courage to move up; how has it worked out?
Apart from the UI issues in author I have had no troubles whatsoever with DMX.
