Well, not exactly. I have several third party xtras that I host myself, such
as the audio xtra - just because there's no entry in the xtrainfo.txt does
not mean that there is no package for that xtra - it simply means that
Macromedia isn't hosting the package, or the vendor is not hosting the
package, or the xtra came out after your current version of Director.
Check with the vendor for packages. If you can get one, host it yourself,
then add an entry to the xtrainfo.txt for it, and you're set.
