> So, what can it do that I cant do in Director?

I'd have to agree with Kerry... and I've disliked Flash from day one. It's
getting much better on the dev side (they're finally making it a real
scripting tool instead of a toy for designers), and it's more than clear
that they are trying to position it to replace html. The "iHotelier" example
makes all of my database geek friends drool.

But, to answer your question, nothing (except for dealing with Unicode - but
I would expect that to change in the next cycle)... but it can do some
things on the web a lot faster, which is by far the most important thing
with web apps. Dir is still far more powerful, but Kerry's point is well
taken - who's a better carpenter, the guy with a hammer or the one with a
hammer and a saw? Well, actually, it's the guy with the tape measure, but
you know what I mean.

If they keep bringing Flash toward Dir, I'll be happy. My main problem with
it is with the authoring environment. The two together make for a very solid
suite.

2 centavos,
