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).
