Something like Hyperstudio is out.
Does this mean you are looking for anything more professional?
if you need a real crosplattform tool without thinking about:
So, suggestions for how to begin learning Revolution would be terrific as would tutorials created by knowledgeable users.
Is the right JVM installed on this Xp?
Is QT installed? If yes what version?
etc...
And If it must run too on Linux, Unix etc...
then you have only one choice: REV/MC, wich imho will not be a real multimedia Authoring tool in the foreseable future. Later on - maybe - when we get that what I was asking for. Thats imho the key to make Rev an general tool...
Depends what are you looking for?
More scripting or more authoring?
(very short definition from my point of view for learning:
scripting: left brain orientated (digital, step by step thinking)
authoring: right brain orientated (associative, visual thinking)
The best tool would be brainfriendly - you can (have to) work with both parts of your brain.
In an information society this things will become more and more important in the future, because we all (not only the younger generation) must learn how to learn more efficiently...
(Sorry that I cant explain it more detailed here, but I have a "typing problem" at the moment. (It seems its a carpal tunnel syndrome and I m afraid I need an operation...) So I have to watch (nearly count) my typing and mouse movements. But you can call me, if you like.
Scripting: again REV/MC
Authoring: there are better tools mostly QT or Java-based.
iShell - with 3.0 I think you can forget Director! (QT based)
eZedia MX & eZediaQTI - great UI very easy to use, not so powerful as iShell but cheap and very promising. (QT based)
Quickmedia - mTropolis successor. Good idea, but you should better know french very well! (QT based)
Norpath Studio - the only one except Rev/MC which runs on Linux too. Very (to) big Player (Java-based)
And some more specific others...
