| AUDIO XTRA HELP: INSTALLATION: MACINTOSH - DIRECTOR 11 |
| INSTALLING THE XTRA ON MAC OSX - Director 11 Double-click the installation .dmg file. This will mount a disk named "Audio Xtra" on your desktop. The first step is to copy the Universal binary version of the Xtra, which will be used in the authoring environment and also when creating Mac OSX projectors, for both Intel and PPC machines. This file is located in the install disk image, at: Audio Xtra/Mac Universal/Audio Xtra.xtra This file needs to be copied to the Director 11 Xtras folder. The final pathname for the Xtra in a default installation of Director 11 will be: OSX Volume Name/Applications/Adobe Director 11/Configuration/Xtras/Audio Xtra.xtra Windows projectors can also be created directly on Director 11 running on Mac OSX after installation of the Windows version of the Xtra. It is located on the install disk, at: Audio Xtra/Windows/AudioXtra.x32 Copy this file to the Cross Platform resources directory in Director 11, so that it will be available at: OSX Volume Name/Applications/Adobe Director 11/Configuration/Cross Platform Resources/Windows/Xtras/AudioXtra.x32 Finally, you need to edit the xtrainfo.txt file to include information about Audio Xtra. This information is used by the Shockwave and cross-platform publishing features in Director 11, to locate the files needed when assembling the Windows version of your projector. The xtrainfo.txt file is located by default at: OSX Volume Name/Applications/Adobe Director 11/Configuration/xtrainfo.txt Double click the file to open it in TextEdit, or alternatively edit with another text editor. Make sure to save the file in plain text format, though. You need to add the following line to the end of the file: [#namePPC:"Audio Xtra", #nameW32:"AudioXtra.x32", #package:"http://download.tabuleiro.com/packages/Audio/6/AudioXtra"] You may want to customize this line in the future, to instruct Director to download Audio Xtra Shockwave packages from the same server that hosts your Shockwave applications. This is covered in more detail at the Using the Xtra in Shockwave section of the documentation. Restart Director for the changes to take effect. The Xtra should be listed when you issue the command "put the xtralist" in the message window. The Xtra functions will also be listed when you click the message window Scripting Xtras button.
