[vet-mm] Macromedia Director

[Ana Tuckerman]

Slowley it is disappearing. 
Every year that i have marked the VCE exam, there have been fewer and fewer students who use director. 
It is still used in industry, but only by a very few. Since Flash has been able to combine movie files, most people have moved on to use it. 
personally i don't think it has long to live.
