A most excellent explanation. Well done Pradeep. You made some very good comparisons.

Another thing I love about Director is control over audio. Synchronizing animations, graphics or whatever to that audio soundtrack or voiceovers is something that drives me nuts when I'm working in Flash. Cuepoints and some of the new audio lingo are a huge saving grace in Director and gives me a much more controlled development environment.

The bottom line is that the more you look, the more control and extensibility you find within Director, but as Pradeep said both products have their strong points and weakness. You as the developer owe it to your client to find the right solution for the task and each of these (Director and Flash) have their place in the market and are the best solution for certain situations. Don't try to make Director or Flash be what the aren't, use them for their ability to make your job easier and the client get the best possible solution to their need.
