Hi Alex,
I have the Director Scripting Reference. This is a two-volume work with over
1000 pages in all. Entries are divided into sections:
Constants
Events and Messages
Methods
Operators
--
Properties
...
As a result of this re-(dis)-organization, I find that I use the DMX 2004
printed documentation very little.
That "organization" was a major hurdle to my learning Lingo back in
version 3 (my degree is in Sculpture, my programming is almost entirely
self-taught and learned on-the-job). The D4 doc was just enough better,
_then_ I learned Lingo (without benefit of a 3rd party book (I add with
some amount of pride)).
This is the major reason I've found the Director Demystified books so
helpful in the past: they list all the lingo in alphabetic order. Sadly,
they seem to have stopped at D8. I'm gonna hit the Microcenter and see
what they've got, any suggestions?
