Futuresplash on the other hand makes a very cool product that makes a whole lot more sense than Director. For one thing it scales with a screen resize and you can script it with JavaScript and Java.
Viewmovie was a great first step towards the real strength of Quicktime technology on the web, namely a text track that supports URL calls . Apple's plugin doesn't do that, in fact I don't think that there is anybody left at Apple that even knows that Quicktime does Text, or URL's or TTS or anything else that would be helpful to real web developers. Before you go slamming Viewmovie, you might try pointing out the fact that Ivan cranked out this product months before Apple, who thanked him by wasting him with an inferior product. The QTVR components are a hack and they still don't work.
