Adobe Director (formerly Macromedia Director) is a multimedia application authoring platform created by Macromedia—now part of Adobe Systems. It allows users to build applications built on a movie metaphor, with the user as the “director” of the movie. Originally designed for creating animation sequences, the addition of a powerful scripting language called Lingo made it a popular choice for creating CD-ROMs and standalone kiosks and web content using Adobe Shockwave. Adobe Director supports both 2D and 3D multimedia projects.

Director’s has a powerful scripting language called Lingo which allows sufficient interaction with external files and certain Windows APIs that it has been used to mockup Graphical user interfaces and create prototypes of applications, as well as create self-running Kiosks on CDs and DVDs. It has also been used to author interactive games with rich graphics and embedded QuickTime movies. Director supports many different bitmap, audio, and video formats. Director 8.5 added the ability to import, manipulate, and display 3D objects. It also supports vector graphics and 3D interactivity (via Shockwave 3D). Since Version 8, Director also natively incorporates Flash animation files.

Director’s functionality can be extended through plug-in applications named Xtras. These can be created by users or purchased from third party vendors. They are created using Adobe Director’s XDK (Xtra Development Kit), a C++ SDK.

Director can export projects for embedding in websites using the Shockwave plugin. Shockwave files have a .DCR file extension.

Director projects can be exported as a stand-alone executable application called a projector. Projectors can be built on Macintosh and Windows operating systems.
