Sorry, Thomas, I strongly (but cordially ;-) disagree--I think studying the 
behaviors, especially the simple ones like "rollover member change" is an 
excellent way of learning Lingo.

True, a lot of the behaviors are too generalized, and an experienced 
programmer can do better for his/her specific needs. However, a lot of the 
behaviors, especially the ones written by James Newton, are really well 
done, and can be a lot of help to a beginner.

Of course, there are even better sources--Gary Rosenzweig's "Using Director 
8" is excellent, and Bruce Epstein's Nutshell books, while showing their 
age, are still good resources.

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson
