Publisher's Synopsis
Designed to meet Web developers' evolving needs, the Backstage product family combines authoring with server-side application development. Comprising part of Macromedia's overall strategy, Backstage ties into Shockwave technology, and Backstage PowerApps will become the primary environment for Shockwaved elements. This tutorial shows readers how to maximize the Backstage packages, which feature Web page design techniques with drag-and-drop tools addressing each integrated Web design element. The book deals with all four levels of Backstage, primarily concentrating on Backstage Designer, the core level application in all four levels. Readers learn to formulate Web content for Backstage use (graphics, icons, frames, URL hot-spot buttons and sliders, animations, audio, fractal art, Java integration, QD3D possibilities, and VRML attachments).
