Practically anyone can produce engrossing, interesting web pages and CD-ROMs. The market is now open to any person with the creativity to create. One of the problems is in the difficulty of learning Director. It is quite in depth and it takes time to become a well trained author. Another downside as seen in the market penetration section above is that Director is not for everyone.
Director is aimed at serious Multimedia authors.
Macromedia's other products if utilized with Director could create one oustanding presentation. A possible flaw is in respect to the advantages above. With Director's existense anyone can create multimedia. This flooding of the market could drown out the quality. A large quantity of bad material could explode onto the market.
