my opinion is it's not the name of the software but what you can do with it.

Some people can afford Director but that don't mean they can do anything great with it.The same goes for Flash.

How many people do you all think have the money to spend on Director?

Flash at 300 bucks is a killer app.

When Flash 5 and even 6 comes along it will replace Director.

From what i heard Flash is about the same as Director except
Director has it's own Scripting lingo.


Flash is great and no one can take that away.

As far as HTML goes Flash is not trying to replace HTML
HTML simply give instruction to the browser on what to display like text,a .jpg or wow maybe even a .swf file.
