Hi,

I've got a couple of questions on Macromedia Director. Please can anyone help me out. I'm doing my C.V at the moment and its obviously giong to involve using mostly text.

1) How do you make text larger and smaller ? Basically I have a paragraph which I want to zoom in really close and then bring it back to normal reading. It seems when I change the font to a larger one on a certain frame, it changes it for the whole movie. Do I have to convert it to a bitmap and then change the scale percentage ?

2) My C.V movie will be in about three different parts. When I've finished the first screen with my personal details on, I'm going to put a navigation symbol on the bottom to go to my grades. Do I just get it to jump forward say 5 frames and start fresh or can you reset the score window ?

3) Also when i have finished how do you save it for distribution. I have saved it as a projector which is fine but when the movie finishes it just dissapears off of the screen. How do you get it to freeze at the end as I want to be able to navigate it back to the first screen ?

Phew, thats it ! ! PLease someone help as I would like to get this distributed quite quickly.

MANY THANKS ! !

I don't use Director, but isn't it the same as Flash just with more options? If so, there are lots of tutorials online that can help you.
