The Utilities
Cast - 48 scripts to make your life easier. Some of the niftier items
include the infamous Tool Tip Plus - now at version 3.2 which
allows for both single and multi-line tips, The new 'bd model
viewer' behavior that mimics Director's .w3d member viewer, and
as you can see by all the pretty little icons - there's much
more! Click the image to download - 220K zip file.

the Xtras menu.
HTMLingo V3 -
If you want to put your Lingo code on the web then this is
the
tool to do it. Allows
you to paste in Lingo and convert it into fully formatted Lingo
code that can then be pasted into your HTML editor. Used by DOUG
and others to post their code. Free and unlocked - as always!
Version 3 gets rid of the now deprecated <font> tag and changes
to <span>
tags instead.
This new version will work with Director MX 2004 only.

Tip: Make an HTMLingo folder within your Xtras folder and unzip the program
and supporting text files into that folder.
DExport - What the hell can't
you do with this tool? Huh? Plenty! What you can do though
is much what Director's own exporter does - but with a twist:
Export to a whole range of file formats like .jpg, .png. .tga,
.tif, and .bmp - make thumbnails on the fly, change the compression
and even create images from a whole folder of Director files. Click the image to download - 90K zip file.

XtraCopy - a little utility that
will copy any Xtras used by your movie into its local Xtras
folder. Only copies those Xtras in the movie's xtra list -
doesn't copy Lingo xtras, etc. Click the image to download - 32K zip file.
Most recent update: 1-21-2002 Troy Rollins, another Director developer has created another similar,
but better, tool called XtraExporter - since he hasn't posted it for download
yet email him at: troy@rpsystems.net to get it.
