Re: LDM's and TELL is NOT obsolete whatever MM says

[Evil Kosh]

Perhaps it is a bit harsh but cmon, this isnt alpha software, or even 
beta, we are in version 10.0 and they havent got basic scope issues 
resolved yet.  I'm an application programmer myself and I know these 
things can be tricky, but only if you have a bad design, perhaps for 
MX2005, they should think about rewriting some of the core to fix some 
of these issues instead of tinkering around the edges doing pretty much 
nothing.  Flash team sorted this, why can't the director team, perhaps a 
little team rivalry is required to get them into shape.

The fact is that director isnt in the position it's in because it's the 
best at doing this kind of thing, it's in the position it's in because 
nobody is around to compete against it so the team must be sitting on 
their laurels rather than fixing the real issues the newsgroups are full of

That is a bit harsh there, Evil. Director is a pretty complex beast. And 
it isn't like the developers of Director can come here and ask Rob how 
best to format a one-line mouseEnter statement which will fix their 
problems, right? Somehow I think the scope is a bit larger than that.

I think the folks at Macr. who we know from this list and others are 
earning their paychecks. Does that mean Director is *perfect*? No. Of 
course not. Frankly, I hate all the techniques involved in LDMs and 
MIAWs. I want real multi-windowed apps, and a true nested hierarchy, 
myself. In the meantime, we make do with what we've got.
