Amazon.com Review
Macromedia is probably best known for Director, the multimedia development tool, and Shockwave, the add-on for producing Web-based movies. But the company also makes other packages that focus, some tangentially and some not, on the Web. That's what Macromedia Web Publishing Unleashed is all about: It covers Web-publishing techniques for Director 5.0 and 6.0; Authorware 3.5, the course-development tool; FreeHand 7, the illustration package; Backstage 2.0, the Web-site creation and management tool; Extreme 3D 2.0, the 3D package; SoundEdit 16, SoundForge, and Deck II, the sound editors; and xRes 3, the image editor.
After an introduction to Macromedia software, you get a course in building Web pages with Backstage. Next you create Web graphics using FreeHand, Extreme 3D, and xRes; Web animations and interactive Web content using Director, Authorware, and Shockwave; audio files for the Web using Director and Shockwave Audio; and high-end Web sites with databases connectivity, forms, user authentication, and discussion groups using Backstage. Finally, you learn about using Xtras and XObjects--and the Xtras Development Kit--to extend the power of Macromedia products.
The book is full of useful tips and step-by-step guidance as well as thorough discussions of each project. A full-color insert shows screen shots of Macromedia applications and related Web sites. Appendices provide tutorials on the products covered in the book. A CD-ROM includes demo versions of Macromedia software, HTML-authoring utilities, graphics and multimedia applications, and source code and examples for the projects in the book.
