Authoring and distributing movies with the Flash Asset Xtra

The installation program for the Flash Asset Xtra places two Xtras files in your Director Xtras folder:

Windows PowerPC Purpose
Flash Asset Options.x32

Flash Asset Options

This file provides support for Flash movies while authoring movies in Director. Do not distribute this file with projectors. This file is not licensed for redistribution.

Flash Asset.x32

Flash Asset PPC

Distribute this file with any movies you create using the Flash Asset Xtra.


The installation program also places this online User Guide in your Xtras folder as well.

The installation program also provides the latest version of this required Xtra:

Windows Mui Dialog.x32, Actor Control.x32

Macintosh MUI Dialog, Actor Control


You need these files, which are part of the standard MuiDialog Xtras package, for authoring only. You do not need to distribute them with your Director movies.

For more information about using Xtras and distributing movies made with them, look up "Xtras" in the index of Director's online Help.

Note: If you have only the Flash Asset Xtra, you will not be able to insert new Flash movies, create them through Lingo, or access the properties of existing movies with Lingo. However, a movie-in-a-window (MIAW) containing Flash sprites will play without restrictions. This allows you to create author-time MIAW tools that take advantage of the Flash Asset Xtra.
