Which one do you reckon is better? In my opinion, Flash is better for animating and tweening and the like, but Imageready is WAY easier to use and can produce some nice results.

numero uno vote!

Well, I wouldnt really consider choosing either considering they're made for completely different purposes.

That is what I was thinking

Animation purposes.

Animation purposes.Can you make interactive surveys, menus, integrated video controllers with image ready? Do GIF and JPEG files have their own programming language?

I meant like avatars and the like, geez no need to get all "technical" on me.

a better comparison would be between fireworks and imageready.

I thought it would've been fireworks and photoshop.

I thought it would've been fireworks and photoshop.Fireworks doesnt come close to photoshop, Photoshop at the moment has a near complete monopoly on the advanced image editing market. Fireworks is much more similar to imageready than anything, Adobe actually considered replacing imageready with fireworks, or scrapping fireworks, because they perform nearly the same task.

Hmm true, Photoshop is like the god of all image editing software.

that's why it costs 768 bucks or so for the Mac version (from the Apple store near where I live)

it's about 620 for the PC version from most of the tech supply stores like Best Buy



Flash: easier for scripting, moving images on the screen itself
ImageReady: easier for animated avatars, my little mIRC thing was made with it, took about 1 minute to make

It costs $1500 in Australia...

damn, that sucks a whole lotta *beep*
