Updating Shockwave movies to use

Flash Asset Xtra

If you have a movie with a version 8 SWF file that you are publishing for playback in

Shockwave in a browser, you need to prepare the movie so that the updated Xtra gets

downloaded to the client’s computer. When the updated movie is played on a system that

does not have the latest version of the Flash Asset xtra, the Shockwave Player will

automatically download and install the latest version so the movie plays correctly.

To update a Shockwave movie to use Flash Asset Xtra:

1. Open the DIR file to update in Director MX 2004.

2. Choose Modify > Movie > Xtras.

3. In the Movie Xtras dialog, select one of the following:

■ (Windows) Flash Asset.x32

■ (Macintosh) Flash Asset PPC

4. Deselect the Download if Needed check box.

5. Check the Download if Needed check box.

Director retrieves the package file from the server and stores the version information in the

movie.

6. Click OK to close the Movie Xtras dialog box.

7. Choose File > Save to save the movie.

8. Choose File > Publish Settings and publish a Shockwave (DCR) file.

To check the updated Shockwave movie:

Enter the following code in the Message window:

The Flash Asset version information displays in the Message window.
