Embedded compressed Fonts Embed fonts in movies so that any fonts can be used in any movie, regardless of the fonts installed in the user's system. Director compresses embedded fonts so they usually add only 14 to 25K to a file. Hypertext features You can now add hyperlinks right into text using the Text Inspector. New Lingo is available to handle the hyperlinks. The size of text cast members is now limited only by system resources.
Director recognizes many common formatting tags.
XML Parser Xtra can parse XML documents from within a Director movie and gain access to the document's contents. The XML document is parsed by code based on Expat. You can access the XML document's contents through Lingo or convert the contents to a Lingo list. Vectors Create a new type of shape in Director 7 called a vector shape. Use a pen tool to create irregular shapes, just like in Freehand.
