Publishing your movie 77

Publishing your movie

In general, you can publish your movie for the web by simply selecting File > Publish. Using

default Publish settings, Director creates a Macromedia Shockwave version of your movie, with

the Director movie (DCR) extension, in the same directory as your original movie. An HTML

page includes the necessary tags to embed the movie. Your browser window opens, and your

Shockwave content plays within the browser.

When you use QuickTime video, you must complete a few additional steps to ensure that your

movie plays correctly. These steps involve specifying that a QuickTime Xtra extension downloads

to your user’s system, if necessary, and placing your files in a specific folder if you are publishing

your movie on a local computer.

Use a QuickTime Xtra extension

Xtra extensions are software components that extend the functionality of Shockwave content and

projectors. A QuickTime Xtra extension is necessary to ensure your QuickTime movie plays

correctly when published. When you imported the QuickTime movie, Director automatically

added the QT3 Asset Xtra to the Xtra extensions list for your movie. You now need to select the

Xtra extension from the list to make it available to your users.

1 Select Modify > Movie > Xtras.

2 In the Movie Xtras dialog box, select the following Xtra extension, according to your

operating system:

■ Windows users should select QT6Asset.x32.

■ Macintosh users should select QuickTime Asset.

Note: Both versions of the QuickTime Xtra extension are cross-platform.

3 Select the Download if Needed check box.

4 Click the OK button.

5 Save your movie.

The Xtra extension will now download transparently to the user’s computer, from a

Macromedia secure server, if the user does not have the Xtra extension.

Get linked media ready to play on your local computer

The Macromedia Shockwave Player plays DCRs in safe mode on your local computer to avoid

security breeches, such as a movie accessing data on your hard drive. For the Shockwave Player to

access the linked media in your tutorial (the QuickTime movie and track1 sound) in safe mode,

the files must be in a folder named dswmedia. This is the only folder name that lets Shockwave

Player access linked local files. The file naming convention applies only to DCR movies that you

play on your local computer; if you upload your files to an Internet server, your linked media does

not need to reside in a folder named dswmedia.

Complete the following steps to create a copy of your movie within a dswmedia folder.

1 Save your movie and exit Director (File > Exit).

2 On your desktop, create a new folder and name it dswmedia.

3 Within your Director MX 2004 application folder, browse to Tutorials/Basics.
