Use of the DMTools Xtras with "Macromedia Shockwave"

For update information about Xtras downloading see Shockwave Xtras downloading overview (TechNote 14726).

All DMTools Xtras are compatible with Shockwave, and they can be used on Internet published movies.

In order to enable the "auto-downloading" feature in your own movie you have to follow these simple steps :

1. Append at the end of the "xtrasinfo.txt" file these lines :

;
; DMTools Xtras by ALLOS S.p.A.
; http://www.dmtools.com/
[#namePPC:"DMPack1", #nameW32:"DMPack1.x32",#package:"http://www.dmtools.com/dmtools/shock/dmpack1"]
[#namePPC:"DMPack2", #nameW32:"DMPack2.x32",#package:"http://www.dmtools.com/dmtools/shock/dmpack2"]
[#namePPC:"DMXtremePack", #nameW32:"DMXtremePack.x32",#package:"http://www.dmtools.com/dmtools/shock/dmxtremepack"]
[#namePPC:"DMWaves", #nameW32:"DMWaves.x32",#package:"http://www.dmtools.com/dmtools/shock/dmwaves"]
[#namePPC:"DMStars", #nameW32:"DMStars.x32",#package:"http://www.dmtools.com/dmtools/shock/dmstars"]

2. Restart "Director" and open a movie that uses DMTools xtras.
Open the "Modify->Movie->Xtras" dialog in Director, and select the xtra in the list of xtras. The "Download
if needed" checkbox should now be enabled. (If it's not enabled, make sure you typed correctly the lines above in step 2.) Click on the checkbox and director will load information from the package file for each platform and add it to the current movie. Save the movie in shockwave format.

3. Test the shockwave movie in a browser.
If you followed the above instructions correctly then a "Warning Dialog" should appear telling you that you are about to download the xtras from the DMTools web site.

 

Note about "DMFADE" xtra.
The "DMFade" xtra is NOT compatible with shockwave because it conflicts with the "DMPack1" xtra.
The "DMFade" xtra is only a reduced version of "DMPack1", so "DMFade" owners can use the "DMPack1" in substitution of the "DMFade" for their Shockwave projects.
