Unfortunately, Macromedia Director though can solve this problem isn't a popular development tool as I have discovered. Apart from Macromedia's site, there's hardly any other website where one can get resources to help one learn how to use the tool. And even when you get to these sites, there's no mention of connecting a database Xtra to Director. Can anyone help me out in this regard by pointing out where I should check?
Cheers

"Director" is indeed the industry-standard application for CD, DVD, or kiosk-type interactive applications.

I just don't know what else we can tell you! There isn't a magic-bullet application that will allow you to create elaborate, rich-media, data-driven presentations based on clicking-through a few wizards.

Such work is hard, and that's why such applications are developed by skilled, trained, creative professionals. If you're unwilling/unable to undertake this yourself, you might consider hiring someone to do this for you. PM me if you're interested, and I can refer you to a few.

Creative skilled and trained professionals were of course newbies once during their careers. They had to learn to use the tools which they use to develop their solutions now. I only asked for direction as to how to get resources on Director. I didnt say I could nt face the task of learning the tool. I don't think there is anything wrong in asking to be pointed to sites where I will get help on this particular subject.

Cheers!

You can just start another thread there; this one doesn't contain much of value, other than pointing you to Director. It also isn't clear what you're trying to create: a CD-based application, or a desktop application, a multimedia application, etc.

So my advice is we close this thread, and that you post a clearer description of your project in the appropriate forum.
