What version do you have? Sounds like 1 or 2....
Director isn't hard to learn once you get used to its Score paradigm. If you spend the time, you'll discover that you can do some pretty amazing things with it. Much of the early CD-ROM gaming market was created with it (Myst, etc...).
I grew up with Director, even back when it was still called VideoWorks. Wrote code professionally with it in the later years, using versions 6 through 8. Can't help you with the HyperCard question, though - I never really got into Hypercard, although the syntax of both scripting languages is very similar.
