check out the free trial before you buy. it’s totally different from flash. more powerful in some ways, more complicated in most ways.

Director is mainly used for offline production…was, i should say…like cd-roms, as it lets you work/animate with uncompressed media like video, sound and bitmap. It’s starting to become big for online 3d with the 3dsMax exporter to Shckwave, trouble is, the plug-in takes a lot longer to download and doens’t come with the browser setup like Flash, so not many people bother…  
It’s a very good software, the programming language (lingo) is much more powerfull than ActionSript (but a bit harder to learn too, basics are simple, and you get some drag’n’drop scripts ready for use, but still…).  
What would you use/need it for?
