Changes to site…
March 15th, 2008
I had a few problems with the server this sits on during the past few days, so I’ve got to make a few changes to things. Unfortunately, I’m off in DC for a good chunk of this coming week.
This site should “mostly” function during the week, but a few things may be askew.
Since Director 11 is still rumored to be out around March 24th I’ll be sure things are nailed back in place by then

The system requirements (for Mac) indicate Intel Macs ONLY (for authoring)! Why? Shouldn’t it be a Universal Binary?

And where’s the Commodore 64 support?
What a deal-breaker.

I would still like to see a linux version… since there is no more Window$ in my life. I have hope for future releases since Mac OS is based on Unix.

Those linux users represent less tham 1% of the market and think the others should stop working for the 99% to please them

I don’t know where you get your number but Linux Desktop is, dependending on W3Ccounter, at 1.34%, the same as Win98 now. As for mac OSX is at 4%…. not very far beyond.
Should there only be a WinXP and 2000 Director version? No. Ubiquity is the answer, no matter the popularity of the OS. Flash 9 is playing on Linux, why not Shockwave. And since OSX is a nix based OS, the port to linux should be straitghtforward.

+1!!!
Some Intel macs (Mac Pros) were introduced less than 2 years ago, meaning there are a LOT of G5 machines still in circulation.

What no support for AS3? – why dont Adobe support their other products integration into Director? Its basically Director 10 with a few little improvements. Nothing that hasnt been possible with 3rd party Xtras. For the upgrade price Im disappointed.

Linux is on my wish-list too. Especially for Kiosk applications: a museum that wants to install 20 computers wouldn’t have to pay for 20 windows or mac licences, it could re-use old computers and if the application would crash and the OS would be wide open, not a lot of youngsters know enough Linux to wreck havoc…

For linux users why not leave director behind finally and use flex/flash. Great support of linux flash player. Not to mention AIR coming. But if you want to use director and your app is shockwave safe just use wine. I have firefox running under wine with shockwave plugin. But you MUST use the windows version of firefox so it’s using wine and the win32 API.
Enjoy

I have asked for a version of Shockwave for Linux for a long time. Yes there are compromises one can make, wine, crossover, cedega and reaktivate, but in the end, nothing is as good as a native shockwave executable.
Shockwave can do much more than Flash and that is why I keep saying I will pay $1,000 if Adobe ports it to Linux. They just aren’t listening.
