Re: FLASH: OT - Director 7 or 8?

[Dave Broz]

Ok..  well if you have never touched director before your D7 book should

suffice in teaching you the basics of how Director and Lingo works.  Once

you feel you have a grip of the basics, go buy D8 and learn the new lingo

associated with it from the D8 manual/help. The rest of lingo that was in D7

is in D8.  However, more than likely you will end up buying more books about

Director,  but by learning from D7 book first means that you shouldn't have

to buy a basic learning book about D8 but probably a more advanced/specific

book in using D8.... Saves you buying an extra book.


If you are really serious about authoring in Director:

I suggest you buy Director in a Nutshell and Lingo in a Nutshell, by Orielly

Press.

Also sign up to the Direct-L mail list, read the faq, and search the list

archives for your questions before you post to the list.
