BinaryXtra Usage/Shockwave

BinaryXtra for Macromedia Director

Director settings for auto downloading BinaryXtra from Shockwave

To use BinaryXtra from Shockwave several extra steps are required:

At first you have to place the BinaryXtra package (certified by Verisign) on your web site. Otherwise you may use package available at:
http://www.xtramania.com/package/BinaryXtra.w32.

Then you have to modify xtrainfo.txt file located in you Director installation folder. This file provides the master list of xtras known to Director. Add following lines to the end of this file:
  [#nameW32:"BinaryXtra.x32", #info:"http://www.xtramania.com/", #package:"http://www.xtramania.com/package/BinaryXtra"]

Replace the #package values to the location on your web server where package file resides. Note: file and folder names in url may be case sensitive.

After modifying this file you may run Director, open the movie you are going to use from Shockwave and then invoke the Modify/Movie/Xtras dialog. Find (or add) the BinaryXtra entry and place the check mark near "Download if needed" and "Include in projector". Director will check whether package file is available at this moment. Then you may save the movie as Shockwave and try it.
