Yeah, you shouldn't do that. The files were released to fix a bug in Shockwave that does not, and never has, affected either the authoring environment or projectors. I don't know why the technote tells you to copy the files to your Director folder as well as Shockwave, but it's clearly wrong. At least, I'm assuming you're referring to this: http://www.macromedia.com/support/director/ts/documents/sw_xtraupdate_v106.h tm Although it doesn't mention an update to any DLLs, just the Xtras. Where did the updated DLLs come from? I had to reinstall Director as a result of this (didn't back up the old files), but I got an error on startup (as did at least one other poster on m.d.l). Fortunately, the Xtras do fix the Shockwave problem. However, I don't know why they haven't updated the standard download yet (auto-update doesn't work reliably as stated in the technote (at least not immediately): you have to apply the patch manually to every system). - Robert [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
