It seems that you've already recieved some good advice but I haven't seen this one 
discussed:

If you are trying to use Director's own ActiveX Control Xtra then this is expected 
behavior. The ActiveX Control Xtra is not compiled browser safe and therefore it 
cannot be used in Shockwave. This issue can is briefly discussed (and searchable) in 
the following tech note:

Hope that helps (along with the info that others have provided).
