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!

Tip: place in your xtras folder to be able to select it from 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.
