Cast/Score/Scripting
Metaphor
Time is shown horizontally; like a spreadsheet:
rows, or tracks, represent instantiations of
characters in a multimedia production.
Multimedia elements are drawn from a cast of
characters, and scripts are basically eventprocedures or procedures that are triggered by
timer events.
Director, by Macromedia, is the chief example
of this metaphor. Director uses the Lingo
scripting language, an object-oriented eventdriven language.
