in [Macromedia Director]

From: laschingert on 26 Feb 2007 12:27 I am a graphic designer who prefers to stick with print design, but the company that contracted me to design text books for the curriculum they wrote now want to market these courses. One of the avenues they want to pursue is CD-ROMs. I used Director once about 5 years ago in a class. I heard that Macromedia Authorware was a program that a lot of people use to create CD-ROMs. Has anyone used both of these and have a recommendation of what is a better program.
From: Ex Malterra on 26 Feb 2007 20:50 authorware is geared towards creating training pieces. director is general purpose multimedia. i've used both, and would actually prefer creating training with director to be honest. so i'd advise going with director.

btw, I thought Authorware was pretty cool around Version 3 and 4. I was actually one of the main beta-testers on the original port to Windows in ver 1.5.
