WEBXTRA HELP: CREATING PROJECTORS
WebXtra can be used to create projector in all operational systems and platforms
supported by Director 8.5, Director MX, Director MX 2004 and Director 11.
Important: please remember that WebXtra sprites do not spawn a working web
browser on the Macintosh: the Xtra is only fully functional on Windows. The
Macintosh versions of the Xtra are provided as stubs to help users that must author
cross-platform movies on the Mac platform, or need to work with their movies in
both platforms with the same set of files and cast libraries, without any error
messages.
CREATING A CROSS-PLATFORM OR STANDARD PROJECTOR
(Director MX 2004 and Director 11)
Director MX2004 and Diretor 11 include the ability to create Windows projectors
when hosted on Mac OS X, and vice-versa. The OSX version of Director MX 2004
can create projectors for older versions of MacOS (8 and 9) as well. However, this
only works correctly if Director is configured to locate and include the proper Xtra
files for "the other" platform. Please make sure the appropriate files are installed in
the Configuration\Cross platform resources Director folder according to the
installation notes, and also make sure the Configuration\xtrainfo.txt file contains
information about WebXtra (this procedure is also covered in the installation
instructions)
Assuming the cross-platform files are already installed and configured correctly
you can invoke the FILE->PUBLISH SETTINGS menu item to configure the
parameters for your projector. You can then configure what types of projectors will
be created. You should disable the option to create a Shockwave file, as WebXtra is
not available for Shockwave.
In the FILES tab you can add additional Director movies to your projector. The
Xtra will be automatically included if there is at least one WebXtra castmember in
the main director movie. To finalize just click the PUBLISH button. Director saves
the publishing settings with your Director movie, and future projectors can be
created simply by choosing the FILE->PUBLISH menu item.
