This reference provides conceptual and how-to information about scripting in Macromedia Director MX 2004, and also provides reference descriptions and examples for the scripting application programming interfaces (APIs) that you use to write scripts.
The scripting APIs are the means by which you access the functionality of Director through script to add interactivity to a movie. By using these APIs, you can create interactive functionality that is identical to that provided by the prewritten behaviors that are shipped with Director, in addition to functionality that is more powerful and more varied than that provided by the prewritten behaviors.
The prewritten behaviors enable you to add basic interactive functionality to a movie, such as moving the playhead to a frame number or marker, or zooming in when a user clicks a sprite. They also enable non-interactive functionality such as sprite animation, media loading, and frame navigation. The scripting APIs enable you to extend and customize these types of functionality.
