With a wide array of hands-on lessons and the Macromedia seal of approval, Director 7 and Lingo Authorized is a reliable, insightful guide for any aspiring multimedia author. You start off with an introduction to Director and its interface and toolset. You move on to do the following:
  • Create animated bulleted lists and reversing animations
  • Add transitions, sounds, video, and interactivity
  • Set movie properties and animate with real-time recording
  • Work with keyframes and layers
  • Create film loops and buttons
  • Add built-in behaviors and custom cursors
  • Work with alpha channels
  • Change sprite properties and set palette options
  • Insert markers and fine-tune navigational elements
  • Work with color cycling and blends
  • Use Shockwave to create Web-based movies.
By lesson 16, you're ready to tackle Lingo. You get a simple introduction to scripting and learn the basics of events and handlers. Next you learn how to add navigation via Lingo, create visual and audio feedback, synchronize with digital video, control sprites with Lingo, and optimize scripts. More advanced tasks involve working with key codes, using lists and multiple casts, creating databases and lists, using a list database, and using Lingo on the Web. The companion CD-ROM has all the project files you need to get through the book's lessons. --Kathleen Caster
