director 11

I've had to purchase director 11 in order to complete a project for college (an interactive presentation for a charity)but sadly it looks more like a rather boring website built in flash..

What I would like is to find some video tutorials on creating a 3d presentation - or just on using various director functions; I've had to cobble together the current monstrosity from deciphering the help file, forum trawling and help from a few folks on twitter.

As I've now purchased the software it seems a shame to leave things where they are and would like to have a go at creating an infinitely superior presentation that I could offer to the charity for use on or off line.

Any links would be gratefully received as I've found little for director (even on the adobe forums) geared towards the complete novice user.
