there is in fact a link to an ADOBE blog:
<https://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/the-future-of-adobe-contribute-director-and-shockwave/>

I have been using Director for years, its animation possibilities were AWESOME, wish we had (a fraction of) this in LC,
but scripting was a real pain in the arse!

I never regretted my switch to MetaCard in 1999! ;-)
