The original question:
Now I am trying to extract the resources from this exe file made by old Macromedia Director 7, but I am in trouble.
First, I have tried the way of loading temp files, but they are inside Xtras folder and I also cannot find a way to open those .x32 files. And these .x32 files seem cannot be opened by the Director nowdays or other programs like Authorwave that I have downloaded. I have also tried MX2004, but it fails again. Are the media information coded inside these .x32 files?
Second, I tried using app like Reshacker or Muitextractor but neither of them can load the pictures inside.
I found one Adobe's technical document but not sure if it is useful to my question link. According to it, Win 95, NT and Win3.1 was the environment at that time. I am sure this exe was made by Macromedia Director 7 in Year 1999, as the file inforamtion tells me.Here is the screenshot of the file info.And it is shown as Director Player when I right click it on the task bar.
So, any tips on how to extract the resources I want???
If it is possbile, what are the softwares I need ? Really want to get the pictures inside.
If you're still looking to get the images from the Director .exe,(a Projector I presume?), you might be able to use a converter such as http://swftools.sourceforge.net/exe-to-swf.html which may end up porting the media to a folder. I suggest going down that route. Also try the unofficial Director communities if they are still active http://www.deansdirectortutorials.com/
Hope that helps.
