As you say, it's not really the Director design, though even .dcr only hides 
Lingo code, not assets. All it was ever designed to do.

As to .swf, kind of a tough call - blame or credit? 

The fact that Macromedia published the .swf file spec may be a major factor 
contributing to the overwhelming success of the Flash player/plugin.

Once you open a filespec, it's rather difficult to make it secure. Just ask 
Adobe about the PDF format ;-)
