Using transitions

Transitions create brief animations that play between frames to create a smooth flow as sprites move, appear, or disappear or as the entire Stage changes. Director provides dozens of transitions built into the application, and many third-party Xtras include transitions as well. For example, you can dissolve from one scene to the next, display a new scene strip by strip, or switch to a scene as though revealing it through venetian blinds. You can also use many of the transitions to make individual elements appear or disappear from the screen.

Once they are defined, transitions appear in the Cast window as cast members. You can place them in the transition channel by dragging them from the cast to the Score.
