Title: Too Simplistic
Product review: This book was required in my Multimedia class. I find the Dir. 8 Bible too extensive, but this is too simplistic.The first 5 chapters repeat the basics I've already learned in school. Chapters 6-10 are of little use because they're about graphics, and I do graphics with graphics software. The chapters that could have been expanded like adding video, lingo, etc. are cut too short.Using this book, I was able to make very simple Director 8 projects. I want a simple book that shows me how to get the most out of Director 8, like rollovers, uniquely shaped video playback windows, etc. Y'know, the stuff that makes people go, "WOW!" and pay big bucks! This one doesn't do that.
