Director in a Nutshell is the most concise and complete guide available for Macromedia Director 7, the premier multimedia authoring tool. It addresses new features in Director 7 and Shockwave 7, but also covers earlier versions for those still working with Director 5, 6, and 6.5. Director in a Nutshell condenses hundreds of Director tips and techniques into a desktop quick reference that is a must-have addition to every Director developer's library. It covers Director's core components (the Cast, Score, Stage, sprites, and animation), delivery and optimization (Projectors, Shockwave, and the new System Player and ShockMachine), and media elements (video, audio, SWA, bitmaps, JPEG, GIFs, animated GIFs, texts, fonts, fields, buttons, menus, cursors, dialog boxes, film loops, Flash, and vector shapes). Director in a Nutshell is the only book to integrate Director's multiple facets into a comprehensive discussion of each topic, including all related Lingo commands. The reader gets both the nitty-gritty details and the bigger context in which to use them. It highlights cross-platform differences for developers under both Windows (3.1/95/98/NT) and the Macintosh. It includes details on optimizing performance, memory usage, productivity tips, keyboard shortcuts, coordinate systems, palettes, the Paint window, Movies-in-a-Window, Xtras, Shockwave audio, QuickTime 3, and Director 7's new features, including dot notation, vector shapes, compressed fonts, sprite transformations (rotation, skew, quad, flip), new Lingo, and the Multiuser and XML Xtras. Director in a Nutshell is a high-end handbook, at a low-end price-an indispensable desktop reference for every Director user.
The companion book to "Director in a Nutshell", this title provides a complete definition of the Lingo language, including syntax, structure, and comparisons with other programming languages. Detailed chapters describe messages, events, scripts, handlers, variables, lists, file I/O, behaviors, and child objects.
The companion CD includes special effects and music files, Director movies, and try-it-yourself software.
Veteran script consultant Jill Chamberlain discovered in her work that an astounding 99 percent of first-time screenwriters don’t know how to tell a story. These writers may know how to format a script, write snappy dialogue, and set a scene. They may have interesting characters and perhaps some clever plot devices. But, invariably, while they may have the kernel of a good idea for a screenplay, they fail to tell a story. What the 99 percent do instead is present a situation. In order to explain the difference, Chamberlain created the Nutshell Technique, a method whereby writers identify eight dynamic, interconnected elements that are required to successfully tell a story. Now, for the first time, Chamberlain presents her unique method in book form with The Nutshell Technique: Crack the Secret of Successful Screenwriting. Using easy-to-follow diagrams (“nutshells”), she thoroughly explains how the Nutshell Technique can make or break a film script. Chamberlain takes readers step-by-step through thirty classic and contemporary movies, showing how such dissimilar screenplays as Casablanca, Chinatown, Pulp Fiction, The Usual Suspects, Little Miss Sunshine, Juno, Silver Linings Playbook, and Argo all have the same system working behind the scenes, and she teaches readers exactly how to apply these principles to their own screenwriting. Learn the Nutshell Technique, and you’ll discover how to turn a mere situation into a truly compelling screenplay story.
This is the story of the bible told like you've very likely never heard it told before. The bible is one the most highly regarded literary works of all time. A number one best-seller before there even was such a thing, the bible has long been the most purchased book in history. The problem is however, that most people haven't actually read the book, and those who have don't really understand a very fundamental fact about the bible. That fact being that the bible is in all honesty, simply a very bad work of fiction. In my version I strip away all the metaphysical mumbo-jumbo and all the supposedly miraculous nonsense, and tell the story for exactly what it is. The bible is nothing more than a collection of fictional works from the minds of deluded and possibly mentally ill men, which tells the story of the most powerful wizard ever to exist. This wizard just so happens to supposedly live in another dimension, and the bible offers the stories of how this extra-dimensional wizard used to supposedly interact with mankind.
"How do you think like a manager?" It is one of the most common questions asked when preparing for the CISSP exam. Using 25 CISSP practice questions with detailed explanations, this book will attempt to answer how to think like a member of a senior management team who has the goal of balancing risk, cost, and most of all, human life. The questions will take you through how to resist thinking from a technical perspective to one that is more holistic of the entire organization. Like all of Study Notes and Theory's CISSP practice questions, these questions correlate multiple high-level security concepts and require thinking like a manager. Extracting the most value comes from understanding not only which choice is correct, but more importantly, why the other choices are wrong.
