Product Description

Review
"...Plenty of good advice is dispensed on techniques for using objects and lists to best effect. At this price the book is value for money...", , , Computer Bulletin, November 1999 # --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description
With the growing number of Web sites out there, Web masters must do all they can to attract and keep regular visitors. And multimedia is proving a popular method of capturing that kind of attention. This text gives multimedia designers an insight into all phases of Lingo. Lingo is the scripting language for Macromind Director, the multimedia authoring software that enables you to create presentations that feature text, graphics, sound and vision. Delivering much demanded programming guidance, the book shows how to create intelligent objects, build objects that build other objects, design intuitive navigators with memories, and design interrogators that find out what clients need. "Lingo Sorcery" should help when designing content for Web sites. Increasingly Web masters and weavers will need to exploit every resource they can lay their hands on to attract attention to their sites and inspire regular revisits. This is the book that can give content providers an important programming edge. This book shows how to: manipulate list structures; create intelligent objects; build helper objects build objects which build other objects; make intelligent guides; design intuitive navigators with memories create advisers build information organisers design interrogators which find out what a client needs; assemble information on the fly; create objects which learn from experience build servants which anticipate user requirements.

By A Customer
When I purchased this book I thought the lingo could be used in director 7, obviously after reading it I was wrong. Dear O dear!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for Lingo intermediated level learner., 12 Jan 2001
It is an excellent book for an intermediated student who knows a bit of OOP concept(3years) and Lingo(2years). It is absolutely not for people who want to start learning Lingo from scratch. An excellent book must have !!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Second Edition?, 19 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This book was supposedly the second edition released in 1999. It does however, still refer to Director 4 and 5. Lingo as changed dramatically since this book was first written, and no account for that has been made. Although was probably a helpful book back in '96, the auther definatly needs to consider the changes in Director before this book can be of any use to anyone
