Some software upgrades break new ground, and others just till the soil a bit.
Macromedia Director 6.5 falls into the second category. The latest version of this multimedia authoring powerhouse isn't radically different from its predecessor, but instead incorporates a collection of new add-ons and feature tweaks. Director 6.5 is a solid update, but some of its new features have frustrating limitations. Each element in a PowerPoint project becomes a Director cast member, and each slide becomes a section in the Score. You can then use Director's arsenal to add sounds, animation, and scripts.
