Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
When a book calls itself an "official guide" to something, readers inevitably get a little sceptical. But when you're dealing with an application as big as Macromedia Director, an official guide is actually a welcome sight. Director 8 Demystified offers a much-needed road map to the latest version of the multimedia content creation tool, and as the officially sanctioned guide, it offers a complete rundown of the new program.
Written in part by the author of Director 7 Demystified, and the author of the official Director 7 and Lingo Authorized, this new book provides insight from a pair of experienced users, developers, and writers. Broken down into three well-illustrated main sections (four, if you count the one that contains appendices, references and glossary), this massive volume starts with the basics of using Director and then digs deeper into Lingo, scripting, handling multiple movies and Shockwave. Book Three, "Special Topics", goes into lengthy discussions on debugging, troubleshooting, using digital audio and video and Xtras.
Sidebars with tips, important points to remember like compatibility issues, pointers to chapter numbers where a mentioned topic was previously discussed, and most importantly, new or changed features in version 8 appear frequently throughout the book. Although there are also plenty of exercises and examples, more project-based tutorials would have been welcome, especially something on large projects. Content, media management, and handling large content backups aren't dealt with in enough depth either.
Director 8 Demystified is an almost mandatory book for the serious Director user. Comprehensive, thorough and filled with code snippets and examples, it should be bundled with Director itself. --Mike Caputo
Product Description
Macromedia Director is the #1 tool for creating interactive multimedia. Its power and versatility are unmatched, allowing users to combine text, graphics, animation, video, and sound to create streaming, multiuser content for use in presentations, CD-ROMs, and the Web. Although it's organized around the metaphor of a film production, with cast, stage, scripts, and so on, Director is not known for its ease of use. Director 8 Demystified steps in to guide readers through the related technologies (Lingo and Shockwave), technical skills, and creative concepts necessary to tap the power of Director 8. This new edition also covers features new to this latest release, including new design and authoring tools and one-click publishing of Shockwave content.
