Hi Colin,
I don't think that you will be able to impress those Flash programmers
much. They want to make on-line games and while that's about the only
thing Flash is capable of, it does it much better than Revolution will
ever do. If you were to compare Revolution with Filemaker, you might
impress your audience with readily available server and database
capabilities in a very flexible and easily adjustable interface.
Perhaps you might also find a grateful public amongst web programmers
who use a combination of Perl, Python, MySQL and Apache, now that
Revolution is less demanding if used as a CGI engine. Naturally, you
might try a comparison between RealBasic, SuperCard, HyperStudio 5 (if
that's ever released), XCode and .NET. You will probably be able to
find some people who'd like to switch to Revolution. Flash however...
nah... no chance, Flash is too different. They'll just shrug.
Best regards,
Mark Schonewille

I have a couple of presentations in early May, to groups that are
mostly into Flash, and I'll be showing them Revolution. Are there
good examples of what Revolution has been used for that I could
show? Obvious I'm not thinking to compete with Flash in terms of in-
browser applications, but Rev could compare well against Flash based
things such as Adobe AIR and Flex.
