WebXtra is an Asset Xtra. Unlike scripting Xtras, Asset Xtras can be manipulated using the score and cast windows, and their properties can be adjusted through scripting, just like Director's built-in media types.

To create a WebXtra cast member, go to the INSERT menu, select TABULEIRO Xtras->WebXtra. If you are using an unregistered version of the Xtra, Director will display the WebXtra About Box, where you can enter your serial number and registration information. If the Xtra is already registered this dialog box will not be displayed.

A new cast member will appear in your Cast Window. It has the WebXtra icon and thumbnail. Click on it and drag the cast member to the score. A new sprite will be created on your score window, and it can be used to adjust the position and the size of the WebXtra browser window. You can now use scripting functions or the pre-made WebXtra behaviors available with the product to control the browser component.

For a simple test, please add the following Lingo behavior to the WebXtra sprite:

on beginsprite me sprite(me.spriteNum).Navigate("www.macromedia.com") end on exitframe go the frame end

Users of Director MX 2004 can also use JavaScript syntax:

function beginsprite() { sprite(this.spriteNum).Navigate("www.macromedia.com") } function exitframe() { _movie.go(_movie.frame) }

Save the behavior, and play your Director movie. The WebXtra browser will initialize and display the Macromedia web site.
