Hi, I hardly ever post but have been following discussions on the new version.
Tom, Help me understand as I think I'm reading something wrong. With reference to the standard Xtras that come with Director. With the new version if I want to create a projector to run on OS-X using Director on a Windows platform it will not include the required Xtras for OS-X in the projector that I publish like it will when making the Windows projector for example the flash or text asset xtra? And if this is the case then I still need to publish the projector on a MAC if I want to include the standard shipping Xtras in the projector file for the MAC platform? And if so, how is this different than using a stub projector created on both platforms and just using a dcr file for the main projector like we do now with MX and other versions? Or are you saying that creating a MAC projector via the Windows platform does include the standard shipping Xtras within Director meaning I can send the compiled projector file to a OS-X user and it will be happy to run. And it's only 3rd party Xtra's that we have to worry about which would make sense as that's not down to Macromedia.

Xtras and our core player files are still very platform specific, what's been added is the ability to output the required bits for "the other platform". So yes, if you plan on creating content for various platforms you'll need to have all the required Xtras for all the required platforms. Just makin' sure this one was clear.
