Managing Xtras for distributed movies

You can manage Xtras for your movie using the Modify menu.

To manage Xtras for the current movie:

1 | Choose Modify > Movie > Xtras.
2 | To add or remove Xtras, do any of the following:
| To add the Xtras required to connect a projector to the Internet, click Add Network.
| To restore the list of default Xtras, click Add Defaults.
| To manually add an Xtra to the list (which you would do, for example, if you've used Lingo code that requires Xtras), click Add and choose from the list of Xtras installed in your system.
| To delete an Xtra from the list, highlight the Xtra and click Remove.
3 | To change settings for Xtras in the list, select an Xtra and select either of the following options:
| Include in Projector makes Director include the selected Xtra in any projector that includes the current movie.
| Download If Needed makes the movie prompt the user to download a required Xtra if it is not installed in the user's system. The Xtra is downloaded from the location specified in the Xtrainfo.txt file and permanently installed in the user's system.
4 | To get information about a selected Xtra, click Info.
| The information comes from an Internet source. Not all Xtras include information. Third-party Xtras often include some explanations and information about the developers.

Note: Another way to include Xtras with a movie is to create an Xtras folder containing all required Xtras in the same folder as a projector file. This allows you to see which Xtras are included without opening the movie. If you use this method, you cannot include Xtras in the projector file because the movie will fail to initialize.
