Director MX

Tap into the power of one of today's most popular multimedia authoring tools for CD-ROM, Internet, and Intranet development! Unlike other books that try to incorporate every bit of information on every last feature, Director 9 allows readers to focus on truly important, practical aspects of real-world multimedia development in order to strengthen their knowledge of useful authoring techniques. The learn-by-doing approach has proven effective in classroom- and self-paced learning, providing readers with the skills they need to create leading edge, interactive presentations. Comprehensive instruction begins with the basics of Director's interface and tools, and moves swiftly to exercises that teach readers how to work with text, graphics, other media, and libraries. Exercises based on contemporary corporate, marketing and educational applications also are included to provide hands-on practice in using more advanced features of behaviors, as well as Lingo, Director's powerful scripting language. Explanation of the code resulting from construction of Lingo scripts, plus a CD-ROM containing all of the support files for use in completing exercises in the book, equip users with everything they need to get started. Special icons also appear throughout the book enabling more experienced developers to access the information they need to take full advantage of new, exciting Director 9 functionality when designing and building their own multimedia projects."
