Macromedia Director 5 is without doubt the best development tool for cross-platform multimedia development (used by over 300,000 people worldwide) -- and this appears to be the definitive volume on Macromedia Director 5. Written by a team of nine Macromedia experts, this book covers everything about developing Macromedia projects on the Mac or Windows, working with sounds and 3D, and exporting and packaging your project between operating systems and onto the Internet with Shockwave. It comes with a Mac and Windows-compatible CD containing project files, the latest demo version of Director, tools, utilities, and more. Highly Recommended for anyone working with multimedia or Shockwave.
