If you have been to a web site in the last six months, it is almost a certainty that you have been exposed to Director by Macromedia.
Director is an application used to create animation's and multimedia presentations.
You have probably seen installation animation's for many new applications purchased in the last year or two. When you begin the install program, an animation starts to lead you through an interactive set up. Trial software downloaded from the Internet frequently contains some sort of animation created by Director. I know some of you are thinking that I am probably confusing Director with Flash, also a Macromedia product. Both create the same basic animation's and presentations, but Director is more capable.
