Director supports the following Flash components:
A Flash component has access to the same APIs that a regular Flash cast member or sprite does, in

using these Flash components, see the Using Director topics in the Director Help Panel.
You can add a Flash component cast member to a movie by using the Movie object’s
newMember() method.
