Yes and what kind of a question is that?
Macromedia has done great things to provide a nice interface for
developing multimedia applications. I used Director a long time ago and
liked it a lot. However, Lingo, which runs inside of Director, cannot
be compared with Java. When was the last time anyone wrote an
enterprise scheduling application in Lingo? How about a distributed
workflow engine? How about a complete back-end for a bank's account
management web site?
