ActiveX Xtra - projector doesn't terminate

Question

Hi all,
Has anyone had problems with the projector not terminating
correctly
when working with the ActiveX Xtra? We are working on a
Director
application that uses some custom ActiveX controls. When the
user
quits the projector, the Process for the projector does not
terminate. If you look in the Windows Task Manager and click
on the
Processes tab, the process for the projector is still there
even
after the user quits.
I am using Director MX 2004 on Windows XP Pro. Users with
other
versions of Windows are also seeing the problem.
One interesting note is that if we put the ActXPriv.x32 user
interface component in the Xtras folder that the projector
uses, the
problem goes away (the process terminates correctly upon
quitting).
Unfortunately the documentation for the ActiveX Xtra says
"Under no
circumstances should the user interface component
'ActXPriv.X32' be
redistributed with a packaged Director multimedia title."
Thanks for any help!
Tom

I just thought that you might fail to unregister your activeX component when you stop the projector (in case you deliver the component's dll to the user with your projector package). Say my component is called axvlc.dll. It is placed in the same directory as my stub projector (given by: _movie.pass)
On startMovie -- I register the component:
     axRegSuccess = ActiveXControlRegister(_movie.path&"axvlc.dll")
     --axRegSuccess must be -1
end
on stopMovie -- I unregister it
      axUnRegSuccess = ActiveXControlUnRegister(_movie.path&"axvlc.dll")
      --axUnRegSuccess must be -1
end
