Yes and no. Every tool has its stregths and weaknesses. If you already know Director and have alreadt paid for the two full packages you'll need for cross-platform work, and if the nature of your project depends heavily on animation or other traditional multimedia uses for which a timeline is ideal, then it's a very good choice. On the other hand, if you're building things along the lines of a true application, you'll probably be working way to hard trying that in Director.

I've been roasted for this before here, but the offer still stands: If someone will put up enough to pay my bills for two months I'll build an iShell-like tool using Rev. iShell is great precisely because it is constraining: by providing a more focused feature set it can allow faster work for some types of projects. But with Rev's speed and flexibility, many of us build custom authoring environments for clients, which may be difficult to do in iShell itself, but could produce something that offers a very similar focused approach if needed. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge 2.2: Publish any database on any site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
