Hi, a few questions, any help appreciated!

I am doing an educational CD-ROM teaching egyptian hieroglyphs for my Final year University Project.

I have two ways of going about it:

Use Flash CS3 - A mix of Actionscript 2 or 3 means I can code stuff in AS3 (like games, many which will be included) and use the new CS3 components and bundle it with Flash Player 9.

Use Director MX 2004 - I know nothing about this yet but have read it is good for CDROMs and I am willing to learn it. I have also read you can incorporate Flash 8 SWFs into the final CD-ROM. But no AS3/Flash 9 SWFs.

Which option would you go for?
