Macromedia Training Overview

Students will learn advanced techniques for creating interactive movies using Director.

Target Student:

This course is designed for students who understand the Director techniques and concepts that were covered in the Director 8 Introduction course, and who want to learn advanced options including the basics of Lingo programming.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of the Windows operating system, and completion of the Director 8 Introduction course, or equivalent knowledge.

Delivery method

Instructor-led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities.

Benefits:

Students will be introduced to the basics of Lingo programming. Students will create Lingo-based animation, use variables and lists to store data, and control how a movie responds to user interaction. To achieve these goals, students will learn programming skills so the student can structure, test, and debug Lingo code effectively. And along the way, students will learn efficiency-building techniques such as importing PowerPoint files, branching to multiple movies, and creating a useful "stub" projector.

What's Next:

Director 8.0 Introduction is the first course in this series. This course, Director 8 Advanced, is the final course in this series.
