Written with experienced Web authors in mind, Creating Shockwave Web Pages provides in-depth advice on how to use Shockwave, the add-in for Macromedia’s Director, Authorware, FreeHand, and Audio. The authors cover each of these products, but most of the discussion relates to Director 5 and its programming language, Lingo. You get detailed help on creating basic animations, adding interactivity, and creating Lingo-driven Shockwave files that sort and display lists of data such as corporate directories.

There’s also a lot of information on Internet Lingo for Shockwave, which consists of new Internet-related Lingo commands for such tasks as navigating through Web pages and downloading Internet files. What’s more, you get advice on creating a coherent Web site with a storyboard, backgrounds, Shockwave movies, and other multimedia elements such as Animated GIFs, Java Applets, Real Audio, and video files. The last few chapters discuss Shockwave for Audio, Authorware, and Freehand, and provide a reference of the test projects used in the book. A CD-ROM includes Shockwave; demo versions of Director, FreeHand, and Authorware; a gallery of Shockwave files with original code; and graphics utilities.
