OLE xtra for Macromedia Director

Why Another OLE Xtra?

Macromedia Director ships with its own OLE xtra. ActiveCompanionSet provides even better support for OLE embedded objects and scripting. Below is the list of key features of the OLE xtra from ActiveCompanionSet.

OLE xtra features:
• Stores OLE object data together with bitmap or metafile view.
• Draws object either with native OLE handler of the parent application (if any) or uses stored object's view.
• Supports scripting of OLE operations: creating and editing OLE objects at run-time with the native parent application (if any). See the Microsoft Word sample.
• Provides even further scripting support by means of VbScriptXtra (if embedded object supports scripting). For example with Microsoft Word embedded document it is possible to open embedded object with Word, edit it with Lingo scripting and then save it back to the Director's cast member.
• OLE xtra functionality is free except for activating embedded objects. See License Agreement for more details.
