Our panel will discuss the various strengths of Flash and Director, then we'll
open the floor to general discussion. Our goal is to gain an understanding of
the strengths of each platform, *not* to determine which is "better". Zealots on
either side will be led outside and shot  :-)  so please come and join us with
an open mind for constructive discussion.
