D11 is not all doom and gloom
So, in the midst of all this hate and dismay at the new version of Director, I went ahead and installed it and tested out one of my rather complex recent programs.

How does the Highlight member checkbox work?
I'm reading through the entire help file of Director 11 and discovering little things I either forgot about or never used, but could use (as well as some mistakes).
