Summary: If you're a beginner, this is the only book for you!
Comment: I had never even seen Director before I bought this book and had no clue what Director could do. Upon reading the first 3 chapters, I was already making a actual animated movie! This is a hands-on, clearly written, easy to understand book that I would absolutely recommend to anyone trying to learn Director.

Word to the wise: If you have the most recent version of Director (6.0/6.5), you may want to get Director 6 Demystified instead.

Summary: A Great Book for Multimedia Beginners
Comment: Jason Roberts makes clear his intentions from the beginning. This is a book to explain Macromedia Director 5 and get you started on projects. This book is not the panecea to solve or learn everything about Macromedia Director. You need several books to do that. But what Director Demystified does is give you "real world" examples and a great sample CD to use as your reference. The tutorials are easy to follow and a great starting block for your own Director projects. The Lingo lessons are good beginners, but to do advanced Lingo, you will need a supplemental book and more detailed information. Mr. Roberts is also very good at explaining how to plan for your multimedia project. I followed the books tips and my first project was started in no time. Even though there are some minor scripting flaws within the book, it is still well worth the money to invest in. The CD alone will give you your money's worth.

Summary: This book is full of errors.
Comment: This book was so full of errors that I spent literally hours trying to debug the book. I finally turned to Macromedia tech support who told me the book was wrong. Don't expect any help from the publisher either. They never returned my e-mail message telling them about an error I found
