Marc provided a way to do it in Flash. Because you mention that you also

use Director, you're aware that you can use Flash inside of Director too,

right? D6.5 supports the SWF 2.0 format, and D7 supports the SWF 3.0

format. This lets you use vector animations and complex interactivity

together.


(One of the goals of Flash is to have a small, fast-starting Player engine.

The Lingo virtual machine inside the Shockwave Player is nearly half-a-meg

of code!)


If you already know Director, and you're starting to work with Flash, then

it's possible to use both parts of your experience, together.  Lingo can

precisely control the playback of a Flash castmember, and even synchronize

multiple Flash files. Give it a shot... great stuff!
