Publisher's Synopsis
Director has long been established as the premier multimedia authoring tool. Version 8 brought closer web focus but it was not capable of working in 3D. With the upgrade to 8.5, Director has become an important Flash compatible 3D development tool. This integration of two of Macromedia's most exciting graphics tools, as well as including a sophisticated 3D modelling environment means that Director 8.5 is not a half-version so much as a rapid response to a burgeoning and demanding market.;This book provides a strong foundation for the novice user of Director. Building a rich understanding of the basics, it introduces the Director-native language Lingo and acquaints the reader with the new 3D development environment.
