Creating Projectors

StreamingMediaXtra is optimized to work in Shockwave. For local media it is usually better to play Windows Media files using DirectMediaXtra, specially for video files that are bigger than 320X240 pixels. However it is possible to use StreamingMediaXtra in projectors. The Xtra operates only under Windows 95, 98, ME 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 create your Projectors with the "Animate in Background" option checked.

The Xtra is automatically included in the Projector if your first movie contains a StreamingMediaXtra cast member. If you are creating a "dummy" projector that will call your .dxr movie, you can include the Xtra in the Projector using the MODIFY->MOVIE->XTRAS menu, and adding the StreamingMedia.x32 file.
TIP: You can also deliver the StreamingMedia.x32 file in a folder named XTRAS, located in the same directory of your Projector, if you do not want to embed the file into your projector. This is recommended for faster startup of your Projector
We also recommend including a LINGO.INI file with your Projector. This file should contain the following code to prevent problems playing sounds when Intel RSX and DirectSound are installed:

on startup
set the soundkeepdevice to 0
end startup

The final structure of files should look like:
Projector - C:\myproj\proj.exe
Lingo.ini - C:\myproj\lingo.ini

Optional (if Xtra was not embedded into the Projector):
Xtra file - C:\myproj\Xtras\StreamingMedia.x32

The Xtra will not locate linked media files, since it is primary function is to link to network-based media located in HTTP or Windows Media servers. If you are using the Xtra with local Windows Media files you need to set the URL property of the file via Lingo to reflect the file location in the target machine.
