Director Object Model (DOM)
During the development of Director MX 2004 I began composing a document that would clearly outline the various parts of the DOM in Director and Shockwave. The resulting document focused exclusively on the top-level properties and functions exposed as well as the core objects supported by the player. The core data and supported media types were both omitted from the document. Here I've posted both the original and an in-progress update for you to view, the updated version will include everything from the original plus the missing data type and media type information.

Please monitor the in-progress DOM documentation itself for revision history information and update notification, this page won't be updated until such a time as there is significant news to report.
