I think much of this derives from the original understanding of Xtras, and
the migration of a lot of Director functionality from within the runtime
engine itself into Xtras (said migration occurred mainly between D5 and
D6.x, complete with the engine overhaul in D7).
The touted benefit was that
Gee, catch questions are fun...
Only if you get the catch. As you've read by now, the first catch was
that the first Flash Xtra wasn't tied to any release. The second
catch was more subtle, Flash 4 support in 7.02 fully complies with
the non-paying non-major update that introduced new Flash su
That's what I meant by separate xtra update :)
The two were: 6.02-ish. In other words, when the Flash Xtra first
existed as a separate product, and as you said, 7.02, which had Flash
4 support.

Quite right, I got myself in a twist on the Flash Xtra update. Even though

Again, just wondering what old times you're referring to as for at least the
past 5 years over 5 releases of Director, I don't recall us ever having
provided an updated Flash Asset Xtra outside of a major product release
(thus you had to upgrade Director to get it).
