Working with Xtra extensions
Xtra extensions are software components that extend Director functionality; some Xtra extensions
are installed with Director and others are available separately for download and installation.
Additionally, if you know the C programming language, you can create custom Xtra extensions.
For information on creating custom Xtra extensions, see the Macromedia Xtras Developers
Support page in the Director Support Center at www.macromedia.com/support/xtras/.
Xtra extensions provide several types of additional functionality. After they are installed, they are
available for your use whenever you open Director. Xtra extensions can bring the following
elements into Director:
Media Introduce additional media types as cast members into your movie.
Scripting Access additional Lingo or JavaScript syntax if you script in Director.
Transitions Choose from additional transitions between movie scenes.
Tools Use additional tools to make the authoring process easier.
