Re: Sliders?

[Michael Greenberg]

Hi Judy,

One thing that I have tried that is pretty cool with sliders is to use Flash

cast members in Director 6.5. I have been doing this and it is just simply

awesome.


I wrote some behaviors and put together a slider in about 20 minutes .


Very Cool,

Michael
