Creating Shockwave movies

You save your work as a Shockwave (DCR) movie to prepare it for playback in a Shockwave-enabled Web browser, or to make disk-based movies smaller. Using a Shockwave movie also prevents your users from editing the movie if they own Director.

If the Shockwave movie you're creating will be distributed on the Internet and requires any Xtras, make sure the Xtras are listed in the Movie Xtras dialog box and that Download If Needed is selected for each required Xtra. See Managing Xtras for distributed movies.

Note: Use Update Movies to convert several movies at once to the Shockwave format. For more information, see Processing movies with Update Movies.
