Whether working in something as complex as interactive multimedia or a simple paint program, we all agree the technical manuals that come with the software are invaluable resources we could not do without. Technical manuals however, are usually written by technical writers and often assume prior technical knowledge or fall short in explaining concepts thoroughly and initiating problem solving procedures. Macromedia has done a fairly admirable and expansive job with its four Director volumes.
Director however is more than complex and multi-dimensional.
It is phenomenal. It is proving to be the multimedia software of choice as it is probably the most powerful as well as the most versatile program in this arena. Being such, we have all found ourselves perusing a variety of Director resources, trying to solve that little problem particular to our project. For example, Robbie, Traci, and Nanette all started with the rollOver script offered at the back of Tips and Tricks . As our projects have progressed we have all found ways to script rollovers that are more suitable to our particular needs.
