There is a new version of Director in development, Director 11. We are bringing in several engineers to present on Director 11 3 times at MAX 2007 in Chicago and we are adding a BOF for Director.

So yes there will be sessions on Director 11 at MAX.

I'll try to be positive here... What?

I don't see Director listed as a product here: http://www.adobemax2007.com/na/sessions/locator/

nor is it listed on any session.

Are you saying Director 11 will be released at MAX?

Frankly, I had the impression that Director was being "sunseted".

Phillip,

Director sessions will be listed shortly. They were added in our content meeting on Monday, 07/30. My blog is faster than the MAX 2007 site. Sorry for that.

Director 11 will showcased at MAX. It is a product in development.

Time to brush up on your Lingo, Phillip!

I was getting worried, the new logo spells “Di” and I thought they were killing it off. They need to wire in Actionscript3 support for the Director plugin, it still owns the 3d game market online but lingo sucks.
# Ryan [draw.logic] August 1, 2007 3:36 AM

How about this, add in haxe scripting for Director and watch it take off... Right now director doesn't have much going on in the IDE category.

Great news! Looks like I'll have to take a trip to Chicago in the fall :)

Hooolaa Great!

$1000+ conference fee and a trip to Chicago just to hear more vague descriptions and nebulous release-dates?

I'm excited about D11, but increasingly disappointed by the (new) Director team's utter lack of concern or willingness to communicate with the product's community.

I'll save my time and money for the actual release.

I hope..

Director still is out there and being used in various capacities. I work in both ... more so in Flash these days, but there are many instances where director fits better. If they get their act together, like using Actionscript 3 in Director - That would be the ticket for me. Humna Humna!

please give Director 11 session in Adobe MAX Japan 2007 .

Lingo is better then actionscript, and when u know it, it's powerfull.

Can't wait for a decent report either --- for the meantime, I've found this:

Thanks for that link!

Finally something to show the management team here :-)
# V October 4, 2007 1:32 PM

what would be really cool is to add Lua or Python as a scripting language, but for now I have no problem with Lingo
# Andreas October 4, 2007 1:50 PM

still no new 3d engine... sad. hope in havok tough!
# drawk October 22, 2007 4:25 PM

In reply to anonymous coward: Lingo is better then actionscript, and when u know it, it's powerful.

I know lingo and yes it is powerful, I am talking more about what the market says about it. Lingo is largely an odd syntax and api language. It is different than many common languages that prevents it from growth. If it is so great why is there emphasis on more javascript support (AS3 is javascript2 based)? It is because the market is telling them people aren't as receptive to it. It is a good decent language and should be bigger, it isn't and thus my comments.

I won't buy Director 11 if there's no vertical synchronisation.

I'll work with another 3d engine which alloxs VSync

thanks
# Anonymous November 2, 2007 9:57 PM

what about havok?
will be in D11?

intel bought Havok, but what about adobe and intel relationship?
# dmennenoh February 9, 2008 11:40 AM

Lingo is friggin lame. If Adobe actually wants to attract newcomers to Director they need a true OO language like ActionScript, and also a modern syntax that people will actually recognize. If you think Lingo is awesome, then I feel for you.
# Anonymous February 15, 2008 5:29 AM

Dave,

LINGO is a great language.
On the top of that, LINGO and ActionScript have many things in common.
# Necromanthus February 15, 2008 6:18 AM

I use them all (Lingo,AS1,AS2 and AS3).
LINGO is not lame.
It's very intuitive and has an excellent compiler.
# Daniel March 15, 2008 4:00 PM

LINGO is a superb language for designers and anyone creative who aren't too keen on geeky code. I feel I can do almost anything with lingo. I wonder how on earth they managed to make it so easy. JavaScript based languages and especially Flash are a nightmare to work with although very powerful.
# Anonymous March 17, 2008 4:43 AM

Hi Ted - please can you confirm:

Can AS3 flash cs3 content (and flex?) be imported and played in Director 11?

The feature list is not clear.
# Anonymous April 13, 2008 11:58 PM
