Director supports only the most basic suite of mandotory AppleScript
commands to my knowledge (such as open, print, and quit).
We sell an AppleScript Xtra (zScript) that adds additional functionality to
it though.
For example, zScript allows you to compile and send applescript commands to
other applications. To receive AppleScript events, we have a helper app
named zQueue.
Your third-party app (or the scriptable Finder) should send the events to
zQueue instead of Director (because Director will ignore them).
Then you can use zScript from Lingo to dequeue the events from the zQueue
helper app and receive them into Director.
Director doesn't understand the apple events themselves, but it is a way to
pass messages to Lingo via AppleScript.
Then, inside Director, you would code some Lingo to interpret the events
and do something meaningful.
For example, if you received some text in an AppleScript even you might
tell Director to display the text on screen.
Make sense?
