Very well. I worked at Macromedia at the time and was part of the technology M&A team that bought a tiny company called FutureWave for something like a million dollars and turned their product into Flash. Best investment I'd ever seen.   :)
 
Some of the early content created in Director, Shockwave and Flash were pretty amazing. I wish I'd saved some of it.

The internet archive has some of it saved, including Radiskull and Devil Doll. Look it up.  :)
