not claim to be an accurate representation of the Director and Flash user-base
as a whole. The results were last updated on 1 April 2005.

What do you find easier about the program you selected over the
other?
The specific question of what people find easier in one program over the
other was just included recently so total number of responses does not indicate
the total group. However, people have tended to list the easiest feature
in one program as something that they find hard in the other, and vice versa.
Since the total number of responses in this area is relatively, I will list
the order (from most to least) in relation to number of votes for that feature/
part of the program.
