zScript adds the power of AppleScript to Director!

Do you want to control others applications via Director?

zScript allows Director to send and receive Apple Events, and communicate with other AppleScriptable applications.

Tell Netscape Navigator to access the web and download files for you!
Use the scriptable Finder to manipulate files and folders.
Use zScript to control other applications, such as Excel or Netscape Navigator, from within Director and vice-versa.
You can even have another application tell Director to execute any Lingo command!

zScript opens up a world of possibilities! Refer to our Needs Analysis FAQ to determine if zScript or some other tool is right for you.
