I'm not familiar with Director (is it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingo_(programming_language) ?), but if
you pick up something like Python, you'll be able to establish a
socket connection easily. I made a simple program a little while ago
that, among other things, could pause and resume a video, using the
telnet interface. There may not be a command-line 'telnet' program on
your platform, but there's certainly BSD socket support, which is all
you really need.
