Tap into the power of one of today's most popular multimedia authoring tools for CD-ROM, Internet, and Intranet development! Unlike other books that try to incorporate every bit of information on every last feature, Director MX allows readers to focus on truly important, practical aspects of real-world multimedia development in order to strengthen their knowledge of useful authoring techniques. The 'learn-by-doing' approach has proven effective in classroom- and self-paced learning, providing readers with the skills they need to create leading edge, interactive presentations. Comprehensive instruction begins with the basics of Director's interface and tools, and moves swiftly to exercises that teach readers how to work with text, graphics, other media, and libraries. A companion CD-ROM, containing all of the support files for use in completing exercises in the book, equips users with everything they need to get started. Special icons also appear throughout the book enabling more experienced developers to access the information they need to take full advantage of new, exciting Director MX functionality when designing and building their own multimedia projects.

I had not had the need to learn D9 until recently. After I learned D8 with the help of your previous book, it was a natural fit. You guys didn't disappoint! Well done.
