Troy: According to our Director guru, Director has some limitations regarding Unicode and multilingual support. He can get it to work but only after jumping through some serious hoops. Reliably displaying 22 different languages (with styling) is the lynchpin of the entire project.
Theoretically, Director may be able to do 90% of what we want. If Rev can deliver 95% that's better. Even using something like altBrowser may solve some of the major problems. Which is part of the reason I'm being such a pain on the list (sorry). Can we do better than Director for something like this? Hopefully. I'm supposed to find out. I'm certain that there are good reasons why Director may not be the best for this project but I'm a Flash guy so can't really say what they are. I'll meet with the guru tomorrow and nail down exactly where Director is falling short. Thanks!

My point being that Director does all these things now, without compromise. I like Rev a lot, but using the right tool for a project design is more important to me than blind loyalty. -- Troy RPSystems, Ltd. http://www.rpsystems.net _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
