Uses Director"s own Xtras ("JavaConvert", "Mix Services", "JPEG Export", "Image Translator Helper") to export cast members to JPEGs Allows the configuration of which member is exported, the path of the JPEG file, the JPEG quality and whether the behavior should check for the xtras" availability or not.
If you pass an empty string as export path, FileXtra is used to get a path

-- Recent changes / additions (as of 07/99) --• With Director 7.02 you"ll need the following Xtras: JavaConvert, Mix Services, Image Translator Helper, JPEG Export --• The exporting movie has to be external – as Gretchen MacDowall stated. Verified. --• Iren Gurarye added that the exporting movie must not be protected. Verified. --• David Foster stated that in D 7.02 the BMP Agent Xtra may be necessary. Not verified for Windows, not true for Mac. --• David Foster (and others) stated that only members from castlib 1 (standard internal castlib) may be exported. Verified.
