Director Still Around ?
4 messages in this thread
My version of Director 2 doesn't seem to like Ami DOS 3 — and the publisher,
Right Answers, has disappeared. Anybody know if updates are still available
and from whom?
In the event it's history, I'd appreciate any recommendations for programs with
comparable capabilities. I need to dump a series of animations interspersed
with still images, seamlessly, to video.
TIA.
PMFJI, but I am looking for a version of the Director to run a program called
stitchery I downloaded form CIS. I have a 1200 and version 2 of the Director (I
think). Whenever I try to run stitchery, an error saying not a film 2 version
(or something). I think I need a lower version number of the program (the
director that is) but cannot get one.
I have no idea what the Director does, and so any info/places where I can get a
lower version would be helpful
Thanks

Hi, Harry here…
…found your plea for an old Director; I have a good message and a bad
one for you: the good one, that you will probably find an old version of
the projektor-file (it is to be hoped you will need only this file) on
Fish-disk 454 within the stillstore-drawer. The bad one, I'm not shure if
the old projector will work with newer OS than 1.3 .
BTW is your program 'stitchery' REALLY a Director-application? Old
Director-programs (always projects) should have an icon with a small
filmstrip, and the default-tool is 'projector'. If you load your file in
an editor, the first four letters must be FILM. The rest of the file is
binary.
TheDirector2 is a wonderful multimedia authoring system, unfortunately no
longer supported with OS3.x – what a pity!
– I'm still using it… :^)
Greetings from Harry and AP!
Harry,
Thanks for the message and locating the Director disk for me.
If/when I get the director (on Fish) I can slam Kick 1.3 into my 1200 and give
it the kickstart 1.3 version instead of 3. Also I still have an copy of
workbench 1.3, from my 500 days and so can use this. Hopefully this should get
it to work fine. This sytem has worked in the past so it should work for this.
I will try your idea and see if the program actually is an director
application.
Thanks again.
