.cxt File Extension

Developer: Adobe Systems

File type: Director Protected Cast File

You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .cxt. Files with the file extension .cxt can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .cxt files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .cxt file?

Version 11.5 of the Adobe Director software can be used to create files in the CXT format. These CXT files are Adobe Director 11.5 project files and are affixed with the .cxt extension. Generally classified as data files, the CXT files are also called Director protected cast files. The Adobe Director 11.5 application is a multimedia authoring program integrated with features useful for embedding interactive multimedia objects and images. Users of Microsoft Windows-based systems can install the Adobe Director 11.5 program into their systems to start creating these CXT files, and Mac users can also install and use the version of this software that was developed for Mac platforms. The Adobe Director 11.5 application also encodes these CXT files with proprietary encryption specifications, so other users cannot open or modify the content of these CXT files. The CXT file format is also useful when a user needs to share objects embedded into a CXT file with other Adobe Director 11.5 users, especially in instances where the author of the CXT file does not want others to edit the content of the CXT project.

how to open a .cxt file?

Launch a .cxt file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .cxt file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .cxt files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .cxt file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .cxt file will open the correct application.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .cxt files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .cxt. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
