Director Tutorials

 

The Director Mile High Table O' Products

Welcome to the Director Mile High Table O'Products page, originally created by Gretchen Macdowall for updatestage.com as a comprehensive list of Xtras, tools, utilities and any product that may be useful when working directly or indirectly with Director made applications.

Adobe announced (Jan 2017) that they will no longer be selling Director and support of Shockwave will be limited (The Future of Adobe Contribute, Director and Shockwave). For many years, Director's development has been limited and companies selling Xtras ceased updating and selling their products. As a result, many of the Xtra links here may be to archived sites or no longer available. This page is maintained for my personal homage to my favourite product. If any links are boken or incorrect, please let me Dean Utian know.

(New in version 1.1 is the drag and drop support, an independent timer which can be used to overcome the bug on Macs not rebooted for longer than 24 days and the full support for mousewheel and trackpad scrolling events in all directions.)

This xtra is a MacOSX-only xtra mostly specific to Macintosh windows.There are a few functions not related to windows as well. It provides several functions to manipulate the look of the windows in Director. You can set the transparency of a window (similar to the Windows only winobj.blend property), draw the small dot inside the red close box of the window to indicate that the document inside the windows is modified or group windows together. Additionally there are several animated effects to show or hide the windows.
