DiMX Xtras Updated

Macromedia has released updated versions (Mac/Win) of the Flash Asset, NetLingo, and TextXtra xtras for authoring and automatic update in Shockwave for Director players. Also updated are the Shockwave installers, posted on 4.8.2003.

The Flash Asset update brings feature/bugfix parity to Flash content played back in Director/Shockwave via the latest (6.0r79) codebase, and the NetLingo update fixes problems with netDone() in Shockwave content. These two xtras should be pushed out to all SW 8.5.1 installations over the coming weeks.

The TextXtra fixes an issue with the Euro character in French & German systems. Shockwave developers targeting this audience may elect to have their content automatically download the new textXtra automatically by selecting "Download if needed" checkbox in the Movie Xtras dialog.

The following lists the new Shockwave install type, version as reported by Lingo's version and environment.productBuildVersion along with the installed xtras and their version (a similar listing of the older installs and some commentary on installer differences can be found in the Meet Director MX entry).
