afterburner

[Philip Levine]

Starting with VideoWorks 1.0 and paying each time to upgrade up to Director
5, I have finally begun learning in order to see if Director can provide
what I need for a project I have in mind.

Now that I've reached the time to test on the web, I find that my Shockwave
book (from 1996) has a version of Afterburner that is not compatible with
Director 5.

How can I find a copy of this free software in order to continue my
evaluation of Director 5 to see if it will suit my needs, before investing
the substantial amount needed to bring my version up to date?

Using a Mac, sys 8.6.

Thank you for any help.

If you do find what you are looking for, you might find that some of the
director 5 code doesn't work right with current version of end user
shockwave plugin.

Later director versions have built in shockwave compression, no more
afterburner.

If you got at least version 8 you would be mostly up to speed, 8.5 if
you want real time 3d in your shockwave files.

Director (9) MX 2004 has just been introduced.

I could be wrong, but I think it was included on the Director CD - maybe in
a "goodies" folder?

JB is right, that is an exceedingly old version to test with. Also, if I
recall correctly, Afterburner does not create streaming Shockwave files. I
think it became a streaming format when Shockwave compression was
integrated into Director 6 or 6.5.

You might want to consider testing with the free evaluation copy of
Director MX instead.
