I stopped using Director for new developments a few years ago now and only pull it out for maintenance of legacy apps when absolutely necessary.

Is it something that can be downloaded? Most of these bits an bobs are 'lost' now, buried on the hard drives of old macs under my house or (possibly) archived at one of the previous places I worked at - so there's nothing really left to show - sorry. They were mostly to do with the generation and 'sampling' of simulated vegetation communities and were only ever used in-house. I've been working in a medical faculty for a few years now so not much call for that sort of thing ;) -- Dr Terry Judd Lecturer in Educational Technology (Design) Biomedical Multimedia Unit Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry & Health Sciences The University of Melbourne Parkville VIC 3052 AUSTRALIA 61-3 8344 0187 _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
