Director has long been established as the premier multimedia authoring tool. Version 8 brought closer web focus. With the upgrade to 8.5, Director has become an important Flash compatible 3D development tool. This integration of two of Macromedia's most exciting graphics tools, as well as including a sophisticated 3D modelling environment means that Director 8.5 is not a half-version so much as a rapid response to a burgeoning and demanding market.

Following the multi-author single-voice Studio format, this book brings together experts in the many different facets of Director lore and technique, programming and modelling.
