This reply from Tom Higgins (Macromedia engineer) to the same question on Direct-L: <QUOTE> Just to make sure the original poster is clear on the real answer: you cannot use the ActiveX Xtra in Shockwave. Whether or not you can auto-download it, or whether you manually install it or not, it just will not work in Shockwave* and you'll continue to get this message. This is the case for any Xtra that hasn't been compiled as Shockwave safe by the Xtra's creator (in this case us, in other cases the third party developer has this choice). Sorry but at this time that Xtra is just not a candidate for usage in Shockwave. *Note, all "unsafe" Xtras will actually fail to initialize any time you are in "safe player mode". Shockwave is always in safe player mode but you can flip authoring/projectors into that mode if you want by setting 'the safePlayer' to TRUE. Be careful though, once you do this you cannot change it back without quitting and then restarting either Director or your projector. </QUOTE> -Sean.
