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?
