Re: FLASH: CD Rom production - Director is so bogus

[Phillip Kerman]

One thing you didn't mention John, is that to create your own stub requires

that you OWN a license for both Mac and Windows.  Almost as cheap would be

to hire someone to make a variety of stubs that could be used for a long

time to come.


By the way, I think the gripes about Director are--basically--based on lack

of knowledge of the complainer.
