Hi Ripps.
The question of Director vs Flash has been asked many times.
I have a FAQ page relating to this with links to articles at:
http://www.fbe.unsw.edu.au/learning/director/resources/FAQ/web.asp#5
Here's another link to an article called
The Best Kept Secret in Town - Application development with
Macromedia Director
http://webddj.sys-con.com/read/45623.htm
It also compares Director to Flash from an application
development point of view.
The Director Podcast had an episode on Director vs Flash. It
can be downloaded from:
http://www.magicgate.com/podcast/director/shownotes/director_podcast_ep20_06_13_06.html
The short answer is that Director is superior to Flash in
many ways including
* supports real-time 3D
* has a greater range of digital media support
* supports plugins (Xtras) to allow the software to be
extended
* Director can access operating system commands
Flash is better than Director in some areas. So, if you want
to create a game or some other application, your
choice of tool will depend on what exactly you want it to do.
To your other question, the current version of Director is MX
2004. This is version 10. There's a 10.1 and 10.1.1
update that are free to download. Adobe have announced that
Director 11 will be released by the end of this year.

  • Comparison of Director and Flash

    Why Director and why Flash? What Director can do but Flash
    can't, and vice versa.

    I suggest adobe.com and just read , there really is just way
    too much to list down
    in a post. Two totally different programs, different
    languages and power.
    Some 'bottom line' things perhaps.
    Director way larger than flash, just the player is so big
    that not many people like
    to download it just to view small intro or menu.
    Director unlike flash can handle video, interact with OS,
    expend its power with "Xtras",
    something like plug ins. It's design for heavy multimedia
    with images and video and sound.
    Capable of 3d.
    Flash is for web, fast download small files, video is
    supported but it was not design to
    handle big files. More of a vector based small web based
    content.
    Really, go to adobe and just read away.

  • Director and Flash Paper

    Hi Adobe forums,
    I've just about putting the finishing touches together for an
    interactive CD at work using director 1.0.11. I've provided users
    with a print button that then in theory should open the
    corresponding flash paper file and then the user can just print out
    what ever he or she wants.
    Don't ask me why I used flash paper over pdf, it was
    something new and I wanted to try it out. It works fine on my
    machine but when I burn the projector and accompanying swf and xtra
    folder to cd it won't work on other machines.
    I'm guessing this is a Flash Xtra problem, but I've already
    selected Flash Assest and Flash Asset Options X32 via modify >
    movies > xtras but this doesn't seem to solve the problem. To
    handle the opening of this file I've also downloaded and installed
    BuddApi as well.
    Here's the code I use to open the swf file:
    property pFile
    global gDelimiter
    on getPropertyDescriptionList
    description = [:]
    addProp description,#pFile, \
    [#default:"test.swf", \
    #format:#string, \
    #comment:"Type the full filename to open: Example: test.swf"]
    return description
    end
    on mouseEnter me
    -- sets the cursor to the hand
    cursor 280
    end
    on mouseLeave me
    -- sets the cursor to default
    cursor -1
    end
    on mouseUp me
    --- setting the file path to go to, you need to put your
    folder name or file structure in.
    --- the moviepath is the path to the actual .exe file. So you
    just need to
    --- add the structure from that point on. In the below case
    there is a
    ---folder called "pdf_files" in the same directory as the
    .exe
    sPath = the moviePath & "swf_files" & gDelimiter
    & pFile
    --- & is simply appending each item, so it is appending
    pdf_files to the
    ---existing path, and then appending
    --- gDelimiter which is either a \ or : and then finally
    appending the name of
    ---your file
    baOpenFile(sPath, "Maximised")
    --- buddyAPI command you will have to download and install
    buddy API
    ---Xtra. It is free, do a google search for BuddyAPI and the
    site will come
    ---up, simply download the appropriate version and place in
    your Xtras
    ---folder.
    cursor -1
    end
    If anybody could point me in the right direction I would be
    very grateful.

    Thats the strange thing, at work all machines are set up the
    same way via an image ripped down to them when they are first
    configured. Part of the standard desktop image is the Flash Plugin.
    For some strange reason the .swf file isn't recognised on the
    CD. Drag the associated file to the users computer and the file is
    recognised.
    I'll give the error reporting alert a try and feedback the
    results. It might be that I just have to embed the Flash Paper
    within the Director Projector.
    If anybody else has any ideas I would be very grateful.

  • Embedding/linking director in flash?

    hi there, i have searched this forum and google but can't
    find a way to embed/link a project i did in Director MX to a Flash
    8 movie. I found loads of ways to do it the other way around i.e.
    Flash in Director but not the way i need. Is there a way to do this
    by any chance? any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    peterotoole-
    I worked 3 years doing Director/Flash integration so it is
    with confidence I can say there is no way to embed Shockwave movies
    (output of director) inside of a swf (output of flash). The reason
    it only works with a swf inside a shockwave movie is because
    Director is more powerful and has an xtra which emulates the flash
    player inside Director. Essential Director there is a mini Flash
    Player; if that makes sense. Flash is not powerful enough to have a
    mini shockwave player inside of it.
    However I have an idea that might help. There is a way to get
    Flash and Director to talk to one another without being inside of
    one another. This could provide the abiliy to make things seem as
    if the Director content is in a model window being controlled by
    your swf. To do this you will need to use LocalConnection Objects.
    You can find out more about LocalConnection Objects @
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/director/articles/local_connect_objects.html
    I hope that helps.

  • I'd like to hire someone to create a simple interactive game in director or flash

    I can do some simple things with lingo and actionscript, but I have been given the task to create an interactive game that will be interfaced through a touchscreen. This is beyond my scope and would like some advice on where to turn for help. I have (briefly) explored some of the sites that advertise this type of service and so far they expect a huge budget and very long development timeframe.
    I really am looking for some basic stuff, a timer, a kept (high) score, random placement of (objects), an interface to scroll left and right allowing a larger game area than the 1280x1024 the touchscreen allows, collecting semi-hidden objects, jigsaw-type assembly of objects on another background scene using only the "found" pieces, etc.
    I supply all graphic elements, and only need the programming - in such a way that I can change the graphics if necessary.
    I do have a budget, and could use some advice on who may be available at a reasonable cost to my client.
    Thank you,
    James Patrick
    - I am very flexible to make this more simple. I would appreciate advice as this is on the fast track.

    I've done this many times for a variety of clients, and specifically for touch-screen kiosks. The basic difference with the touch-screen is to go in mouse
    -show vs. mouse-hide mode, and to keep the buttons and controls big enough for fingers.I also use a hidden menu (or control panel) button in my kiosk applications, so the user can change settings easily without having to use a mouse/keyboard.
    I generally do the game development in Flash, but I use Director as a shell (import the Flash files into Director) for the purpose of checking system requirements (RAM, video codecs, etc) and other system controls, which of course can't be done in Flash. Director also has more capabilities in terms of deploying the application. I can send you some sample games I've developed over the years.
    I may be able to assist you on a temporary contact basis, although we'd have to discuss scope to determine if your needs are a match for my capabilites and schedule. Let me know how to contact you offline.
    Thanks.

  • Does director require flash player to be installed

    Hi All,
    I have developed a director application where i use flash
    content(swf's) for my UI. Is there any need to install flash
    players in the machine where i run my director exe.
    Because in the run time i am loading combox contents from an
    xml array. The problem which i face is that when i click on the
    dropdown i a getting hanged.
    Can any one help me on this.

    Your program works correctly in authoring mode, yes? Your
    projector
    works correctly on one computer and not on another, yes? You
    get no
    errors when the program starts up?
    Your projector will use the xtras that you included with your
    projector.
    They should work as expected.
    This line of Actionscript can't possibly work: getURL("lingo:
    "+_root.callBackFun+"("+evt_obj.target.selectedItem.data+","+"\""+evt_obj
    .target.selectedItem.type+"\""+")");
    There are many quote characters that aren't escaped. Can you
    explain
    what all of those "+" are for in there?
    That change function would be a lot more clear if you put the
    selectedItem's values into variables and then used those
    variables.
    Using _root to reference the base level of a Flash movie is
    almost
    always a bad idea. This may be the cause of the problem. I'm
    not sure
    what the hierarchical structure is for a Flash movie when
    it's been
    imported in to a Director movie, but it may be that _root
    becomes the
    Director movie, not the main timeline of the Flash movie. You
    might try
    using a relative path to that function and see if there's a
    difference.

  • Covert Director to Flash

    Is there any way to convert a Director project .dir to a
    Flash project .fla?

    short answer: no.
    long answer: manually, by hand. Very time consuming.

  • Director to Flash

    I have some Mac director 7 movies I'd like to make play in flash cs 5.5. Can anyone help me do that, can it be done?

    You can play Flash in Director but not the reverse. If your Director movies can be exported as digital video, you could then import the video into Flash. You would lose all interactivity in the Director movie though.
    Flash is good for what it does, but then it doesn't really do much. It is not nearly as robust as Director.

  • Directories and Flash

    Hi,
    I'm creating a Flash site where we'll be customizing our
    Flash files with a sales rep's name, email, phone, and photo, but
    everything else will be the same. We may end up with hundreds of
    these reps eventually and I'm trying to think of an efficient way
    to create this. I was thinking of just creating a new directory for
    each new rep (i.e. www.something.com/washington/ - where washington
    is the name of the sales rep, then the next rep's would be
    www.something.com/lincoln/ - etc.).
    In each directory I've created text file that contains
    vaiables: name &&phone&&email&&... and the
    Flash files read those in fine. But instead of having all the files
    in each directory, it would be great to have the flash files look
    up a directory to run the external movieclips and FLVs so that I
    just create one of each and the only files I'd need in the rep's
    directory are the txt file, the jpeg photo and maybe the contact
    file that pulls in the photo.
    1. How do I make flash look down one directory to the rep's
    txt file and photo but still find all the other external SWFs and
    FLVs in the same directory.
    2. Is there a better way to be trying to do this? Perhaps a
    database, etc.?
    3. Where can I find resources for learning how to do this?
    Thanks for the advice!
    Brian

    Thanks, Dave. I like your site, by the way.
    I'm actually thinking now that maybe I'm approaching this
    wrong. Can I just keep all flash in one directory and all txt docs
    with the rep's info in that same directory. Then, if someone goes
    to www.ourdomain.com/washington, we redirect to the root (where all
    the flash files are) and send a variable with that url that says to
    load washington.txt variables. Anyone know if that is a doable
    thing and how I should do it?
    I have a script that calls the variables from info.txt in
    each directory:
    loadVariables ("info.txt", this);
    Could I just make "info" be a variable so that it is
    "varinfo" and my script would be:
    loadVariables (""+varinfo ".txt", this);
    Then have Flash read the variable sent from the URL so that
    it switches varinfo to washingtion in that script and loads the
    variables from the file washington.txt. Sound okay? Now how do I do
    get Flash to read a variable sent with a URL and how do I make the
    redirect send the URL? Redirect URL would be something like:
    www.ourdomain.com?varinfo=washington --- would that work? If so,
    how do I "catch" it in Flash?
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • Carriage return in TextArea Flash component in Director 11

    Hello.
    I have a very big problem now
    Neither embedded Flash movies with textareas or standard flashcomponent TextArea from Director tool pallete do not react on keyboard button "Enter" pressings. There is no carriage return after ENTER button is pressed. The same with End and Home buttons!!
    Please help with any advise.
    Is that a common bug?
    See attached test.dir file. Try to type something in both textareas and then press ENTER button on keyboard. You should realize then what I'm crying about(((
    Alexey

    I too struggled with this issue. If you're looking for a solution still I have written one. Used the attached script in your Flash document, I spent a few days going back and forth between Director and Flash to figure this one out. Basically what I do is attach a key listener to the movieclip containing the textfield object that on keyDown gets the currently focused textField (this way it will work with multiple textField objects). After that it determines if the enter key is hit and if it is inserts a "/n" break at the selection starting point. The only issue is if you select a whole word in the textField and hit enter a break will be placed at the beginning of the highlighted word and that word will not be deleted. Hopefully this helps.

  • "Exit" in director is ? in Flash

    Another in my series of "switching from Director to Flash" questions.
    Here's what I'm trying to do.
    1. Allow the user to type a new in an Input Text box.
    2. If the number is from 1 to 12, go to the "input" frame
    3. If the number is not from 1 to 12, tell them to type a number from 1 to 12 and give them another chance.
    Here's the problem. If the user types a anything that is not a number from 1 to 12, when they try again and type a number from 1 to 12, the Input Text box is cleared, and program does not advance to the "input" frame. I'm guessing that I need to exit the If/Else. In Director, I'd type "exit". What do I do for Flash?
    txt_defNumber.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, reportKeyDown)
    var Term = ""
    var Definition = ""
    function reportKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {   
    if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER)  {

            Term = "value"
            Definition = "A number and unit that together represent the result of a measurement or calculation, e.g. 100 meters."

    Hmm.. Well, maybe it's time to explain what I meant by 'I'm
    working on it'.
    I sure am not adobe, or mm, but I'd bet that most of the
    regular list
    members care about Director more than anyone at any company.
    A couple years back, shortly after mus got discontinued to be
    more precise,
    and by not finding any descent networking Xtra, I started
    building one. The
    initial goal was to build a socket Xtra that could transfer
    binary strings.
    But soon as I got the hang of it, I started adding all the
    stuff of my
    personal Director wish list that came to mind. And the Xtra
    evolved beyond
    and initial expectation - and timeline for that matter.
    The 'official' announcement talked about unicode. But that
    was just the
    first object revealed.
    The Xtra includes objects (strings, lists, date, image...)
    that are both
    faster and more flexible than their Director's equivalents,
    well as new
    objects that aim to include all that windows/c++ has to offer
    for their
    field (socket, services, file/shell...).
    It has been a long and mostly lonely journey...
    You can visit
    http://xtrema.rtr.gr/cDown/
    to get an idea.
    Now that the core is finished, all experimental objects are
    updated and
    added to the pack. The idea is, soon as certain base objects
    are completed,
    to produce some freeware apps for advanced tasks (like
    managing services),
    in an attempt to give Director back it's good name. I guess
    that at the
    time, I'll make a call to any director developer that wishes
    to participate
    in such a project to lend a hand (gui / suggestions etc).
    Don't forget: If it can be done with c++, it can be done must
    faster, and
    with far less debugging, in Director. Long as you can call
    c++ routines that
    will give you access to the system functions that is (aka
    Xtras).
    As a pro app builder, I find Director to have just one
    drawback. No
    multithreading support for lingo scripts. Any number of
    threads can work on
    the background (like e.g. getNetText), but there will be
    bottlenecking when
    it comes to callbacks. So, building a director based
    enterprise server is
    out of the question. But building a game or mid-business
    server capable of
    hosting thousands of clients isn't.

    Harris.
