Authorware Help Packaged Files

DirectMediaXtra icons operate only under Windows 95, 98, ME, Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000. Please check our web site at http://xtras.tabuleiro.com for updated information about system requirements for different operational systems. You should also deliver the DirectMediaXtra.x32 file in a folder named XTRAS, located in the same directory of your executable.

The Xtra will automatically locate all linked Media files that are located in the same directory of the executable, or in any directory listed in Authorware's searchpath variable. Additional directories can also be specified using the SEARCHPATHS list attached to each DirectMediaXtra castmember. This list can be edited directly from the DirectMediaXtra castmember properties dialog box and is saved with the castmember in the Director movie. Both absolute and relative directory entries may be used. Relative directories are evaluated in relation to the packaged executable, while absolute directories must contain a drive letter and complete pathname information.

Examples:
Relative directory entry: media
Absolute directory entry: E:\media
