I'm not talking about Flash ActionScript. I'm talking a full-blown language . Enough O'Reilly books to build a fort in your office. Another place you can poke around to see what's fun to do with Director is Word . With the sophisticated arsenal of tools that Director possesses you can strive toward the antithesis of each of these evils.
Director is a huge application.
You will not pick up a book on Director 10 days before launch date and build a Shockwave pinball game. You will not find a quick-start tutorial on any of Director's sophisticated features. And you will not find quite the warm reception for your web compositions as you would with Flash. Play the billiards game for a while. That's basically the difference between the stages of development of the two standards - you can make collisions and complex behaviors in Flash ActionScript, but it's a hell of a lot of hacking.
