But I must say, I prefer what you and LIA do with Shockwave ;) Thanks Jim – the phosphor game certainly shows up the differences! But I must say, I prefer what you and LIA do with Shockwave ;)

Then there's its extensibility. You can plug in Xtras to it and there's lots of them for online and offline work--mostly offline work. Imaging Lingo used to be an advantage. The sort of stuff I do in dbCinema and LIA does in 'I Said If'. I gather flash has that sort of capability now, though I doubt it's very fast. Am not sure though. they surely aren’t what they once were! flash is outpacing director and director is stumbling badly. but typically speed of processing has been an issue. the frame rate you can get with quite a bit of visual and/or audio processing going on, with director, has been and, i suspect, still is an issue.
