New Director 6 is (still) the most powerful authoring and production
tool for multimedia and the internet, now with significant performance
improvements and new features heavily inspired by its competitors;
mFactory's short-lived mTropolis and the very first iteration of
FutureSplash Animator, soon to be known as Macromedia Flash.

 * Top DL: Installer for a not-for-resale version of Director 6,
   compressed in a StuffIt archive

 * 2nd DL: Director 6 CD, Toast image encoded as MacBinary-II

 * 3rd DL: Director 6.0.2 update, StuffIt self-extracting archive
   encoded as BinHex

 * 4th DL: All the online-exclusive Director 6 Show Me sample
   projects [from the Director Developers Center][1] on
   macromedia.com. Zip file of BinHexed StuffIt self-extracting
   archives and (curiously) a few self-extracting archives that
   weren't BinHexed; use StuffIt Expander 4.5 or later to open these

 * 5th DL: Director 6.0 French version (full disk image)

Please note that the top download is a not-for-resale version of
Director 6, and as such any projectors that are made with it will
display the "Made with Macromedia" logo when they are opened and
closed.

Drag-and-drop behaviors
Director 6 features scriptless authoring for routine interactivity.
Use the ready-made behaviors, or create your own with the Behavior
inspector. [According to longtime Macromedia artist Roger Jones][2],
this feature was particularly inspired by mTropolis' drag-and-drop
script object behaviors.

120 score channels and improved performance
You now have 120 channels at your command for sprite actions?and the
increased performance to handle them all.

Unlimited cast members
Create a multimedia database that grows with your needs.

On-Stage path editing
View and edit animation paths directly on the Stage. Set up keyframes
and let Director's automatic tweening finish the animation for you.

Streaming Shockwave
Create Web movies that can start playing immediately while subsequent
frames continue to download in the background.

URLs everywhere
Director 6 is completely Web-savvy. You can specify a URL or other
network location anywhere you can specify a filename?for example, when
setting up linked media or linked casts.

Enhanced netLingo
Your Shockwave movies now have greater control over linked media and
over playback while the movie is streaming. Through browser scripting,
your Shockwave movie can even send events to and receive events from
Web page controls.

Shocked CDs
Use Shockwave compression and streaming not only for Web movies but
for projectors as well. Improve the playback performance of CD/DVD
titles with Shockwave and streaming, or create hybrid CD/DVD titles
that seamlessly combine disk-based and Web-based media.

Faster, leaner Shockwave
Shockwave is now 40% smaller, which means easier downloading for your
customers and much quicker response after a web browser opens a page
with your Shockwave movie.
