Information specific to the ACG Lab

On ACG Lab computers, the program Director is on the hard drive, inside the Multimedia folder.

After completing this step of the project, make sure to copy your updated Director file to your floppy disks. This file will be needed again for subsequent steps of the project.

If you wish to look at Director animations elsewhere on the Internet, make sure to use Netscape Communicator, which is configured with the required plugin. Links to many such examples are available on the Macromedia, Inc. Web site. A number of these samples include interactive hotspots you can click to change the animation. Interactivity is primarily implemented through Lingo programming.

The Art Computer Graphics program of Fullerton College offers two classes which cover Lingo and other Director topics in greater detail, ACG162-Intro to Multimedia for Macintosh and ACG164-Multimedia Authoring. Look them up in the ACG Class Schedule.
