Math Curriculum Mobile Lab Features Shockwave Content
ExploreLearning is company focusing on educational content development and it creates/shares a lot of that content using Macromedia Director and the Shockwave Player. Lately their educational product Gizmos is a recommended product that comes bundled with Apple's Grade 6-12 Math Curriculum Mobile Labs. Just an interesting heads up for anyone interested in what's going on in the world of Director and Shockwave as well as a big shout out to Raman and the gang over at ExploreLearning, congratulations on your success with Gizmos.

New W3D Exporter SDK Libraries Posted
Our engineering department has recently completed an update to the W3D Exporter SDK Libraries so that developers can create exporters for Mach-O based applications on OSX. Prior to this update we only provided Carbon libraries for the Macintosh platform and that fact proved limiting as of late. For each sample application in the SDK there are now the following projects:
Mac Classic (Codewarrior)
Carbon PEF (Codewarrior)
Mach-O (Codewarrior)
Mach-O (XCode)
Of course you can see by the above that this update targets Macintosh development only, and to be clear the update doesn't involve new exporter capabilities. The update is intended to allow continued developer of W3D exporters in modern and current modeling applications on Mac OSX.
To learn more about the W3D Exporter SDK please visit the W3D SDK Program page on our website.
Enjoy.

developer resource: my poppy website
For quite a while now I've used my poppy website account as a means of sharing information relating to Director and Shockwave content development. After sitting in a state of disarray for a bit I'm finally getting around to cleaning things up and organizing them a bit more. Have a look:
I've already posted a few articles and code chunks that I'm working on and I have more to post over the coming weeks. My goal is to have the items found on my poppy site eventually find their way on to macromedia's web site, either in the Director Developer Center or the Director Support Center, but for now I'll keep writing and posting to my poppy site so the information is available while awaiting editing and final posting elsewhere.
I hope that this proves a useful effort in helping folks develop using Macromedia Director.
Cheers,
Tom
