18 Chapter 3: Getting to Know the Workspace
The action in a Director movie takes place in a window called the Stage. To create a Director
movie, you add cast members (media elements) to the Cast window by creating them in Director
or importing them. Next, you place them on the Stage as sprites. A sprite is simply a copy of a cast
member that appears on the Stage. Then you refine the actions of the sprites by editing them on
the Stage or in the Score.

Navigating the Director workspace
When you first start Director, several windows open in the default workspace. The Tool palette
and the Stage are stand-alone windows. Other windows are docked together. For example, the
Score and the Cast window are docked together by default. In the right docking channel, you can
find the Property inspector, along with a group of windows called Design and another group of
windows called Code.
