*If you convert an Authorware 3, 3.5, or 3.5.1 file containing audio to Authorware 4, you need to distribute the Authorware 3.x Sound Xtras with the piece.
**Shockwave Audio doesn't work on all Macintosh models. It's limited to Power Macintosh computers.
When you distribute an Authorware piece, create an Xtras folder in the folder that contains either the run-time application (Runa4w or RunA4M) or the Authorware piece you're distributing (if you packaged it with the run-time). Put the Xtras in the Xtras folder.

Note: Unless you want to mess with instructing your users to manually add some files to their Shockwave Xtras folder, DO NOT use TIFF image files in Shockwaved pieces!!

*If you convert an Authorware 3, 3.5, or 3.5.1 file containing images to Authorware 4, you need to distribute the BMP Xtras with the piece.
**QuickTime for Windows installs several files into the Windows system directory. Those files both play QuickTime movies and display images in Macintosh PICT format.
When you distribute an Authorware piece, create an Xtras folder in the folder that contains either the run-time application (Runa4w or RunA4M) or the Authorware piece you're distributing (if you packaged it with the run-time). Put the Xtras in the Xtras folder.

**The QuickTime MPEG Extension extends the capabilities of QuickTime to allow Power Macintosh computers with QuickTime version 2.5 or later to play MPEG movies.
***ActiveMovie 1.0 enables Windows 95 and Windows NT 4 computers to play MPEG movies without an MPEG card.
The Movie Drivers should go in the same folder as the packaged Authorware piece, unlike the Xtras needed for graphic image files and sound files.
