The graphical user interface is simple to understand and Director is a great tool for people who do not have much programming experience. Director makes it easy to get almost instant results. Director works on the analogy of a play. You are obviously the Director. Objects that you import into Director are called Cast Members.
Cast members can be a variety of different things.
They include sound clips, Quicktime movies, images, text fields, and Quickdraw objects. The options are flexible. As the Director, it is your job to place the cast members on the stage, which is where people see them, and tell them what to do. Once a cast member is on the stage, the cast member is known as a sprite. The Director instructs the sprites and tells them what to do in a timeline or through the Director's scripting language, called Lingo.
