QT xtras in Shockwave

[Alan Neilsen]

Hi list

I am building some video editing simulations in Shockwave for delivery over the Web. To have a look, go to http://cowan.ls.deakin.edu.au/Media_Arts_Sims/index.htm and select one of the simulation from the menu. These work fine when I access them from a network computer, but when I tried to test the download time over a 56k modem at home, the Quicktime movies do not work and I get an error message -

"Director Player Error
The Application requires an Xtra (QuickTime) that either does not exist or failed to initialise properly. Please make sure the appropriate Xtras are in the Xtras folder(s)."

Can any body tell me what xtra this is referring to. I made sure each movie's xtras in Director included QuickTime Agent.x32 and QT3Asset.x32. But still got this error message. I then made sure "Download if needed" was selected for QT3Asste.x32, which seems to have stopped this error message appearing, but the QT movies still do not play.

According to http://www.accessity.net/xtralist/Macr%20Xtras.htm, the QT3Asset.x32 xtra -
"Enables Shockwave Player or projectors to play QuickTime cast members and provides the "QT3Mix" soundDevice." - but this does not happen.

Please help
Alan
