Ivan Cavero Belaunde writes in to (gently) correct my account of the relationship between Flash and Director. Far as I can tell he’s absolutely right and I was wrong. Flash emerged from a product called “FutureSplash” that Macromedia acquired and renamed; Shockwave was the Web-ified Director. I think I once knew all this but forgot it! In any case, Webmonkey has some more details, and here‘s an account of Flash’s history. Marc Canter’s thoughts remain pertinent as ever; my history was what was in error.
