In this page, we will go over about Adobe Director.


What is Adobe Director

Adobe Director is very similar to Adobe Flash Player, but they are both completely different things. Instead of SWF files, it uses DCR files. It can also use Apple Inc's Quicktime, used to support media, and the The 3DO Company's 3DO Console Engine. Adobe Director's last version was 12, being released in 2012. The product would be later discontinued in both February 1st, and March 1st of 2017.


Plug-ins

One of the few differences between Director and Flash is that Director supports plug-ins, or Xtras. This is possible by a tool named Adobe Director's XDK (Xtra Development Kit), which is a C++ SDK. With each new version, calls new changes important for these plug-ins.


How to use Adobe Director in 2022

You can download the most recent version of Projector Skeleton for Adobe Director here. It will ask you once you open the application, to put in a DCR file. Make sure, if possible, that the plugin is in the same folder (directory) as the DCR file. You can download a example DCR game here.
