Software Review: Director 7 Shockwave Internet Studio

Shockwave movies in an hour? Tell me more...

The first thing you have to do is decide whether or not to install the whole gamut of software that comes with Director 7. Software includes:

• Director 7 - allows you to integrate, control, and deliver media created from the Studio's content creation tools
• Shockwave 7 - you can view Director content on the Internet
• Fireworks (original version) - create graphics in a robust design and production environment
• Sound editors - BIAS Peak LE (Macintosh) or Sonic Foundry's SoundForge XP (Windows) to create and edit sound for use in Director
• New behavior libraries - create interactivity in Director
• Multi-user server - serve multi-user experiences and multi-player games on the Internet

Luckily for Director 7 users, there is a large Users Manual which accompanies the software. Actually there are three manuals included: Using Director, Using Fireworks (I thought you just light the fuse) and a Lingo Dictionary (Lingo is Director's scripting language). These are in addition to the online documentation, which is a nice break from all those companies that believe a developer wants to read their 200-plus page manual online.
