: Authorware? Never heard of it. I don't know alot about director, but I was under the understanding that you can't do api calls with it. Without api's I don't know how you could support any non-command-line based emus.

Authorware is also made by marcomedia and uses shockwave technology. But is more taylored for educational and learning apps

Making api calls is not difficult at all. There is support for active-x controls (that is how I make calls to the speechengine). But more powerful is the way Director uses extensions called xtras that can add any functionality to director. They function just like dll's etc. You can even make your own...
