| Director MX for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide makes the perfect accompaniment for readers looking to quickly get up-to-speed on the new version's seamless integration with the Macromedia Flash MX product family, advanced debugging capabilities, new Object Inspector, support for both QuickTime 6 and Mac OS X, and more! Like the other books in Peachpit's popular Visual QuickStart series, this one uses dozens of screenshots in each chapter accompanied by simple, step-by-step instructions to guide readers through the complexities of creating Director MX "movies" for CD-ROM and the Web. Whether they use the book as a tutorial or reference, readers learn in no time how to combine bitmap graphics, digital video, sound, and text into creative interactive multimedia productions. Completely revised and updated with brand-new graphics, this book covers features new to Macromedia Director MX, for both the Windows and Macintosh platforms.
When a simple animation program called VideoWorks first appeared on Macintosh desktops in 1985, no one expected that—under the name of Macromedia Director—it would evolve into the leading tool for creating interactive multimedia. Over the years, Director has been a pioneer in giving creative people the tools and the framework they needed to bring their ideas to life and distribute them in an increasing variety of formats, from floppy disks to CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, and Web pages.
Director MX, the latest version of Macromedia's all-purpose authoring program, allows you to combine images, text, sounds, music, video, and even 3D objects into fully interactive "movies" that put the user in control. Its capability to handle all sorts of media allows you to repurpose content—for example, to distribute an interactive presentation as a stand-alone CD-ROM and also as a streaming Shockwave movie—with a minimum of effort. |
