Andy, Ross has the right idea. Embed the Shockwave ActiveX control in your VB app, then have the end user install Shockwave and you're all set. The ActiveX control has a number of methods and events available that allow for communication between the VB app and the embedded DCR content (insert the Shockwave ActiveX control into a Director movie in authoring for a quick and dirty peek at the methods/events - they include both externalEvent and evalScript). While it's a bit outdated you'll find the info you need to get started in the following tech note:
<http://www.macromedia.com/go/12993> The above also links to a few other helpful docs in the Director Support Center. In order to distribute a Shockwave installer on fixed media (CDs) or on a corporate intranet you'll need to fill out our free licensing forms at the following URL: <http://www.macromedia.com/support/shockwave/info/licensing/> I've been told there's usually a quick turn-around on licensing applications. Hope that helps.
