From: Anthony Ferralli on 6 Mar 2007 17:49 Has there been any word from Adobe concerning the continuation of Authorware? -- Anthony Ferralli The Ferralli Group 800-442-2548 tony(a)ferralli.com
From: WButton on 8 Mar 2007 13:57 Here's what I got for a reply (it doesn't leave me with a warm, fuzzy feeling) Also note that Authorware is "absent" from the list of products that have undergone Vista compatibility testing. "Unfortunately, Adobe does not give out any information on unreleased products. For the most current information on any Adobe branded products, we recommend checking out website at www.adobe.com.

From: Amy Blankenship *AdobeCommunityExpert* on 8 Mar 2007 14:10 I would certainly agree with you, since it is a flat out lie. Adobe had a public Beta going for a while on the next version of Fireworks, for instance.

From: gbone_2000 on 9 Mar 2007 12:18 So while we're on the subject of Authorware, what are alternatives to this program? What other tools are out there?

While not as...robust as Authorware, I see an awful lot of folks using Lectora from Trivantis. It's similar to Authorware in visuals and functionality, but definitely different too and not as powerful, IMO. Though I have only used it a couple times, and lightly. Personally, I'm working on improving my Flash scripting skills. Considering I've 10+ years of Authorware development in my head, it's gonna take a while for me to be quite as proficient with Flash ;) Erik gbone_2000 wrote: > So while we're on the subject of Authorware, what are alternatives to this program?
