Authorware is time-line based; MetaCard is Stack based. AW is $2700; MC is $1000 (but for many applications, the FreeStarterKit is all you need!) AW is not extensible; MC can be extended/modified to suit your preferences.
As for other MM apps, there aren't too many cross-platform options. But if you are looking at Windoze OS, don't waste your time with Magenta or Illuminatus Opus. Ovation Studio has merit ($400, extensible, small engine, decent scripting language.) In any case, I suggest you download the trials of at lest 2 packages and give AT LEAST 2 weeks of dedicated efffort to testing each one before comitting. miscdas Karl N Jorgensen wrote: > Can someone tell me the advantages of MetaCard vs other authoring tools like > Authorware etc.?? > _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
