Most recently extensive Internet capabilities have been added so that Director can control web browsers or incorporate information fetched from the Web. Saving interactive Director movies in Shockwave format allows them to be sent out over the Web and appear within Web pages. The screen display is called the stage . The flow of events is orchestrated in a time line called the score which is composed of frames . You bring cast members to the score to appear during specified ranges of frames.
Cast members become sprites when placed in a channel .
The sprite appears on the stage for whatever frames you designate. The same cast member can be reused throughout the movie in different sections. Lingo is referred to as a modified object oriented language. Everything created in Director - for example, images, sounds, text are called objects. They become cast members and once placed on the stage, each instance is called a sprite You create Lingo scripts to give the objects the intelligence to do things.
