This article is apparently the best method for emailing within Director:
What I got out of it was that if I download the DirectEmail Xtra ( ) and then download the sample movie ( ) and open the sample movie, I should be able to email from this movie. It's not working! When I play the movie, I get an error: "Script error: Handler not defined. RegisterDirectEmail(), #RegisterDirectEmail"

I'm a beginner and have NO clue as to why this error would come up. I pasted the Xtras I downloaded into the Xtras folder in the same directory as my movie, yet it still isn't working.

Any ideas?

Thanks alot!
 
Ok, I commented that script out (RegisterDirectEmail()) and the error is gone but why is it telling me this?:

"DirectEmail Xtra sample movie cannot locate your email and mailserver addresses, because FileIo and/or DirectOS Xtras are not installed. Please enter those addresses manually, or install FileIo and DirectOSXtras for automatic configuration."

I installed the Xtras in every Xtras folder I could find on my C drive. Here are the instructions on installing the Xtras:

"Locate your Director 'Xtras' and\or Authorware 'Xtras' folders.
In this folder, if not exists already, create a new folder named "DirectXtras".
Copy the authoring/trial version of DirectEmail Xtra -
the file 'DirectEmail.x32' (Windows 32bit) and 'DirectEmail' (MacOS), to
the "DirectXtras" folder you've just created.
If you're working on Windows, you'll also need to copy there the
authoring/trial version of DirectOS Xtra - the file 'DirectOS.x32'."

Followed that exactly, and it's still coming up with the ""DirectEmail Xtra sample movie cannot..." error.

Why would this be happening?
