Macromedia Director is one of a variety of object-oriented multimedia applications on the market. This text breaks down the package and explores its wide array of authoring tools that let users create navigation buttons, introduce sounds in the middle of frames, provide full-blown interactivity and much more. It describes Director's "movie production metaphor", which effectively runs users through the development process, describing how a movie is created by placing objects on a stage and manipulating their transitions, timing and movements. The ability to easily integrate Shockwave technology with Director presentations indicates Macromedia's commitment to Internet technology, bringing to the Internet the interactive and graphical nature of applications that have long been restricted to CD-ROMs. Sample presentations on the attached CD show users the range of possibilities available with Director, including sample movies.
