I'm not familiar with Macromedia Director. So I did a quick search and find that both tools can do a basic positions, scale, rotation and color animation just by creating shapes and keyframes within few clicks and draggings.
Trangram, however, is more than that, it supports
(1) morphing between two shapes (actually any shapes you can create or imagine) without extra efforts
(2) motion path, which means you can define an arbitrary route and let your object move along that path easily
(3) parent link, which means linked object can move, rotate and scale together
There're many more exciting features I don't mention here, you can check them from Trangram about page below.
Well, the power of Macromedia Director was not those animations — but, a scripting language called Lingo[1]. In 1999, I did a trial Kiosk for the State Bank of India[2] to be installed at a popular landmark in Bombay, called the Wockhardt Hospitals[3].
I used Macromedia Director to let users navigate for information, akin to an ATM but for info. A partnership led to including quite a few animations of Cardiology and similar info-animation.
The ability of Macromedia Director and then Flash to see what you are doing immediately was what draw me into the world of scripted visuals.
