Re: FLASH: Flash/Director Integration

[Branden Hall]

 A very big reason that you don't have this kind of thing in Flash is

because of the language barrier...

Lingo is a very robust OOP language with many MANY built in functions...

Flash is a basic half-procedural language that requires work arounds and all

sorts of hairy code to do things... often that hairy code is very techincal

in nature and requires a lot more of a programmer than a similar lingo

script would.

Its kinda funny... what I see in Flash now is kinda similar to what I saw in

assembler back in the day... hmmm....

there's an idea... go dig up my old Zen of... series from Abrash.. that

might prove to be interesting..

Subject: FLASH: Flash/Director Integration



Have been meaning to pass this on to the group for a while.


There is a site, Director-Online, which is an amazing resource for

Director-related issues. They have a section called- Multimedia

Handyman- which lays out tutorials for some of the whizzier stuff you

can do in Director. A couple of months back they ran an excellent

"How-To" regarding creating buttons in Flash that kick off events in

Director/Shockwave. Have noticed a few posts around this on the list.

Here's the direct link to the article:

Now if we could only get ActionScript tutorials that are as well

presented.
