... There is a Director-online article (Multimedia Handyman section) explaining what xtras you should include for projector. The article is fine, but it .... That is, let's say I've got a projector with sw3d, or the other one with flash media, I wanna all have them excluding authoring ones....

put the movieXtraList
By default, in MX04, this returns:
-- [[#fileName: "INetUrl PPC Xtra"], ... If your projector uses more than one movie, you'll have to check this for each movie in turn...
Hi Petro,
A few more points to consider: the movieXtraList is a list of Xtras that Director has determined belong with your movie. Some Lingo will require certain Xtras too ...
This isn't a direct answer to Your question Petro, rather the opposite, but it might still be "good to know".
I don't know what version of Director You're using, but in D8.5 the following applies.
The Xtras that are listed in "the XtrasList" aren't nessecarilly connected to Your movie, its true that Director adds Xtras to this list when ever You "use any asset" that needs an Xtra.
But all "the XtrasList" "really does" is reflect the Xtras that You se when You open the dialog >>Modify>>movie>>Xtras. So "the XtrasList" might be handy for scripting, but while You're in Director You might just as well look here, and here you can get some rudimentary descriptions of some of the different Xtras.
Now in this "dialogBox" there are a few Xtras that allways turn up,even though You have just started a brand new movie, and thats not because "all movies need these Xtras", but rather that they are listed in the text file "xtrainfo.txt" as being of the #default type.
So if You want to get to know more about Xtras take a look in the above mentioned file ("xtrainfo.txt"), there You can modify what Xtras You want to include "by default" in Your movies.
Surely not the last word on Xtras but "My two pennies worth", good luck.
