Re: Can Director Interact With Other Applications?

["Chunick" <webforumsuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's a slim chance with one or more 3rd party Xtras that it could be done 
with Director - not sure if it's worth the difficulty, though.... the specific 
Xtra I'm thinking about is the Hook Xtra by Valentin Schmidt... you can google 
his name and find the Xtra that way. But, by the way you've posed the question 
I would be more concerned with your programming skill level as this would be no 
easy task, to say the least.

 Personally, I would take a simpler route - the one everyone else takes, by 
capturing screenshots or the screen as a video and doing it that way... you 
could even do screen captures of the actual lessons using MS Word and use 
Director's timeline, markers or even cue points built into the video to jump to 
the correct parts of the video/screen captures and include interactive 
components where needed to make it feel to the user like they're actually 
working with MS Word.
