Quicktime error (this application requires an Extra (Quicktime 3)

Question

I have just updated to the recent version of Director and am in the process of updating my previous files for teaching. Everthing seemed to work in the update process and I published a new Projector for my Mac running latest version of Snow Leopard. However, although the tutorial I created runs correctly when I run it direcly from Director's main program, when I run it from the projector I created I get this error:
Director Player error
This application requires an Extra (Quicktime 3) that either does not exist or failed to initialize properly. Please make sure
the appropriate extras are in the Extras folder(s).
Before I updated I didn't have an Extras folder. Can someone please advise, simply.

Quicktime 3 is pretty ancient, and Director 11 does not use it.  You can probably get away with simply removing the xtra reference in Modify, Movie, Xtras....  Find the Quicktime 3 xtra and remove it.  Director 11 comes with Quicktime 6 asset which is probably going to be added to your project automatically, so that should be all you need to do.  If your code does something that is specific to Quicktime 3, then you may need to make adjustments to your code.  You also may need to remove and re-import the quictime videos if they fail to play.
