Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
There are better guides for "just" Director and Lingo, but this is an interesting book because it focuses on using Director with Lingo to create hybrid CD-ROMs that can access the Internet for updated and additional information. Packaged with an interactive CD-ROM, the manual covers in detail how to retrieve text from the net, how to download files, and how to deliver a CD-ROM.

Great way to learn Director,
By
This review is from: Introduction to Director and Lingo: Multimedia and Internet Applications (Textbook Binding)
This is a well thought out, pedagogically sound textbook for learning Macromedia Director. The author first presents a completed example using many of the features of Director, including web access. He then takes you through the steps of building the example, exploring most of the main features of Director along the way. The accompanying CD has all the files you need to build the application. Mr. Neushotz has provided relevant screen shots at every step. There is reinforcment of techniques from one chapter to the next. There are excellent summaries at the end of each chapter. Lingo is integrated into the learning process. Overall the book is a great blend of tutorial and reference book. I plan on using it for my multimedia students.

Good source for learning about e-commerce,
By Ken2001 (Memphis, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Director and Lingo: Multimedia and Internet Applications (Textbook Binding)
I bought this book mainly for the CD that contained the behavior that facilitates the transfer of data via e-mail. To that end, I wasn't disappointed, and the book goes into detail about how to design a Director movie that can be used for e-commerce (this is the only book that I have found to do this). However, this isn't a book for beginners; some familiarity of Director is needed to fully grasp the content of this book.
