Since Version 6, Director has supported the import of Flash animation files and Lingo can be used to interact with Flash's Actionscript code for more control. It also supports vector graphics and 3D interactivity through a Shockwave 3D file object. The 3D capability includes the ability to create geometry on the fly from code, hardware accelerated model display, and advanced lighting features. The 3D features were quite advanced for the time, unusual for an authoring environment. Director 8.5 added the ability to import, manipulate, and display 3D objects. These advanced projects typically use only 1 frame on the score timeline using Lingo to control animation and interaction. While a vast majority of users rely on the score timeline for the development of their work, a number of expert developers create stunning projects, such as games, that take advantage of the speed of imaging Lingo. This subset of Lingo allows authors to perform advanced operations such as to bitblit. Director includes a scripting language called Lingo, and a suite of 2D image manipulation tools referred to as 'imaging Lingo'.
