Book Description

Publication Date: August 1996

This work features annotated scripting examples and strategy tips by leaders in the field of interactive programming, and includes step-by-step tutorials. Two chapters are devoted to Lingo's varying levels of capability, including advanced Lingo features such as Parent Child scripts, Movie-in-a-Window, and the Actor list; the work also contains examples of programming from "Iron Helix"TM and other Lingo-intensive applications. A hybrid CD-ROM (for both Mac and Windows) accompanies the text, with complete and "incomplete" Director movies that correspond directly to tutorials in the book, examples from CD-ROM titles, and Lingo scripts.

This review is from: Director Close-Up: Interactivity & Animation Versions 4 and 5 (Paperback)

My choice for best all around book on Director 5. Covers lingo and stage development with fantastic examples.

The enclosed CD-ROM contains all the source code use in the book (and more).



The best point I can make is that this book takes the time to show you SEVERAL ways to set-up your project before you start. A valuable time saver as your project advances.
