Macromedia Director is the #1 platform for creating interactive multimedia. Its power and versatility are unmatched, allowing users to merge text, graphics, animation, video, and sounds to create exciting, interactive desktop movies for use in presentations, CD-ROMs, and the Web. Although it's organized around the somewhat familiar metaphor of a film production, with cast, stage, scripts, and so on, Director is not known for its ease of use. Director 7 Demystified steps in to guide readers through the maze of sub-technologies (Lingo and Shockwave), technical skills, and creative concepts that they must master in order to tap the power of Director 7. Ideas are fully explained, then put into practice in the accompanying exercises. The included CD gives readers many of the tools and scripts they need to try out their new skills. The only book on Director to be endorsed and recommended by Macromedia, Inc., Director 7 Demystified brings you training from the source.
