    Default Xtra (font) error

    When running my movie in projector i come across this message

    Director Player Error
    Xtra (font...)
    This application requires an xtra (font...) that either does not exist or
    failed to initialize properly
    Please make sure the appropriate Xtras are in the Xtras folder.

    does any one know how to do this and what xtra its talking about?
    cheers

    Default Re: Xtra (font) error

    Hi stuberry,

    This error usually occurs when Xtras needed by the projector is not packaged
    within the projector file (or in an external "Xtras" folder). You need to make
    sure that the font Xtras are included in the projector to get rid of the error.
    Go to Modify>Movie>Xtras, then make sure that the Include in Projector option
    is checked for every Xtra displayed in the list, especially the Font and Text
    Xtras. If these Xtras are not in the list, click the Add button then select the
    said Xtras to add them to the list.
