as much of a hassle as it is, director is still the way to go for cd roms. i haven't seen an all flash cd rom that works well and making a true hybrid is nearly possible without director.
your format sounds doable but before you build the whole thing, do some preliminary testing on different system configurations and operating systems. and test a lot during production. fortunately, one thing director does well is handle quicktime, but do your best to manage memory and purge unneeded cast members.
you probably know that you can embed flash in a director movie and you can write lingo in your actionscript so that your flash members can talk to director members. i've used a lot of flash to supplement director movies in the form of complex buttons, menus and spot animations. if you use flash, however, things can get ugly when you have an interface that contains both flash and quicktime. if anything overlaps, you're going to have flashing in your quicktime movie so don't build any flash interface elements that will touch your quicktime.
good luck.
