Macromedia's own web site contains plenty of (not un-biased) information and a collection of demos and XObjects for Mac & Windows. There's also plenty of material on Shockwave and of course all Macromedia's other products:

Alan Levine, alan.levine@domail.maricopa.edu, maintains an excellent web site dedicated to Director at:

    http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/director/

Which contains lots of useful info, including dozens of tips culled from Direct-L, plus sample movies, associated software and links to other relevant web & ftp sites (including most of those mentioned here and indeed a web version of this very FAQ). It's a subset of Maricopa's Multimedia Authoring page, which contains even more info:

Nick Arnett, narnett@verity.com.com, has set up a site which archives recent Direct-L postings according to subject heading, date or number of replies, allowing you to quickly locate that message you accidentally deleted or scan the last two weeks of postings for relevant info. (Anyone considering a subscription can also see what they're letting themselves in for!)

Paul Farry, p.farry@cqu.edu.au, also has an html version of this FAQ with assorted links and cross-refs at (*** more info to come? ***):
