    Default Error Mesage for QuickTime Xtra in Director MX

    I have created a Hardware Simulation Using Sequenced images and Library
    Behaviors to jump through. I had initially imported a QuickTime animation into
    my director movie. which I have removed. When I publish the project I get a
    Director Player Error: This application requires an Xtra (QuickTime) that
    either does not exist or failed to initialize properly. Please make sure the
    appropriate Xtras are in the Xtras folder.

    When I path to the Xtras folder: C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Director MX
    2004\Configuration\Xtras\Media Element\QT\QT6Asset.x32 and QTAuth.x32 are in
    the directory. How do I determine which Xtra I need. Where can I find an Xtra?
    I looked on the installation cd and they showed the 2 I mentioned. If I am not
    using QuicktTime In my director movie why am I getting this error message? Any
    help would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Jeff!

    I suggest you to use the filemon.exe utility to monitor the files that you
    going to open in your fina project.
    To monitor the open files and see what happend and where you have made the
    errors.
    >How do I determine which Xtra I need
    I think that you must know your programs calls and read a little bit more
    about xtra, then you know when you make a call to an extra xtra :)
    > Where can I find an Xtra?
    For macromedia xtra is allready in your directorys, for other search on the
    internet.

    JeffR,
    You are getting this message because your dir file still thinks it needs the
    Xtra. All you need to do is remove the Xtra from the list. Go to
    "Modify>>Movie>>Xtras" and remove the QT Xtra from the list.
