my "secret weapon" for learning Director

I was recently taking a college course where we were required to use Director. The course didn't have a required book but I picked this one up anyway. This book has been a godsend to me. So many times I wondered "how would I do such and such?", and a quick glance inside the book gave me answer...

Big disappointment

I have a copy Macromedia Director 8 Bible from the same authors, and thought I might learn new Director capabilities like Flash Componets, 3D Lingo, and Javascript syntax from this new edition. To my great disappointment their treatment of these topics is on the verge of nil. Almost nothing...

Not bad but use it for reference only

I bought this one along with the "Macromedia Director MX and Lingo: Training from the Source". Although I do recommend this 'Bible' title (Director is the type of software you need al the reference you can get), I must say this should be used only as a good reference book. For a logical and easy...

Not for 3D graphics

I rated it 2 stars only because my project is primarily with the Shockwave 3D portion of director. There are lots of wonderful 3D things you can do with Director since it has an excellent cross platform 3D engine (if you can figure out how to use it). However this book won't help you to do...

great book!

I usually don't buy books for software programs, but the lack of online resources for Director had me searching for a book. I've been going through the book starting at Chapter 1, and it has been extremely helpful. Director isn't as daunting as it once was...well at least until I get to the...

This book is great.

this book is great - it is not too advanced for beginners. It walks you through director setup, but also allows for you to skip to the more advanced stuff. Its a great book for any level and is engaging, and an easy read. I recomend it strongly.

EXTREMELY HELPFUL!

having learned the basics of director in a class was a good start to the program, but being the MONSTER that director is, a 'beginner' like myself, definitely needs the extra help. This book is relatively easy to understand, (relative because the program itself is just so complex), and is...

Great Director Book and tutorials

I've read many of Brian Underdahl's books and like his style of writing and how he uses examples. I'm somewhat familiar with Director, but never really knew how complex this application is... the book goes into special effects and scripting much deeper than I expected, but was glad to learn it....
