官方解释:近年来 eLearning 市场显示 Authorware 的市场已转移至Adobe Flash® 和 Adobe Captivate®了。Authorware 已是成熟产品,其需求持续下降。对 Authorware 的继续开发于 Adobe 已成赔本买卖(no longer economically viable)。官方原文:The eLearning market has transitioned to Adobe Flash® and Adobe Captivate® software over the years. Authorware is a mature product and demand has continually declined to where it is no longer economically viable for Adobe to continue development. 至于同类产品:Adobe 目前并无相应的同类产品,比较类似的有 Director、Captivate、Flash 等多媒体产品。可能以后会开发类似Authorware的流程图式多媒*作软件。
