I really got sick of Director changing shockwave to such a degree that the new shockwave plug-ins would render my third party plug-ins inoperative unless I redeveloped my creations to work with the shockwave changes.

OK. I'll bow out now, before I get started.
I'm glad Transcript works out for your needs. -- Troy
OK I know what happened to me was one in a million but what happened should never happen to anyone here. I completed a project that was sent off with representatives of mine to a conference where every one that saw it saw it not work. While on the plane to Florida Macromedia decided to change the shockwave plug-in download without any warning to Director user. They added a bug that took them three months to correct and that prevented the users of my web based e-book reader to not be able to run when loaded. I didn't find out about it until people at the booth started complaining that it didn't work. I worked all weekend to attempt to salvage the problem but it was too late.
Since then I had discovered Revolution and learned that it could do many things that Director could not. While learning Transcript I discovered that another shockwave upgrade had rendered another product of mine inoperative. That was the last straw. I abandoned that project. I decided to never be shocked again.
I know you like Director and defend it sometimes. That's fine, defend it all you want. I'm completely done with working with it. It may be pie in the sky for others but it was pie in the face for me.
You don't own stock in Macromedia do you?
