How to open XTRA file?
An often recurring problem with Adobe Director Xtra is that XTRA is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file XTRA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XTRA file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Adobe Director

The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe Director in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support XTRA files.
Programs to open XTRA file
Remember to download programs supporting XTRA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Director with XTRA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XTRA file to open in the Adobe Director application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XTRA file with the Adobe Director program.
Step 3. Update Adobe Director to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Director program, it is possible that Adobe Director Xtra requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XTRA file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to XTRA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XTRA file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected XTRA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XTRA files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XTRA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems Incorporated
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XTRA files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the XTRA file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the XTRA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the XTRA file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
