about half the 'hit'.
No, I don't; but some people on this use-list seem unaware of what
it takes both in terms of money and work to build in all the
additional stuff.
However, I didn't point out that Director could do this because I
wanted RR to do this: I pointed it out so you could see what
'truly cross-platform' meant :)
How much is Director for Linux?
Or does "truly cross-platform" mean something else? :)
Also, look at the number of system messages you can respond to in
Director vs. Rev. Both are cross-platform tools (well, if we ignore the
third platform <g>), but each has a very different focus.
Exercise for the reader: write a script editor in Director (heck, try
writing any good text editor in Director).
Then try animating multiple looped sprites in Rev.
Drive nails with a hammer, tighten screws with a screwdriver, but hammer
nails with the back end of a screwdriver at your own productivity risk. :)
