The Macromedia Director is responsible for the generation of the CXT file extension which is utilized in relation to its Protected Cast files. This type of file is exclusively used by the Macromedia Director software now known as Adobe Director due to the acquisition of the company by Adobe Systems. The CXT format file is normally used in relation with the Protect feature of the application which can be used to remove all of the information required to edit the movie without providing any additional file compression. This process is also responsible for the creation of the DXR file extension aside from the CXT casts. Protect likewise flags the movie file to prevent its access from the authoring environment. The protected cast is capable of protecting multiple files simultaneously. Once a movie has been applied with protection, the process is irreversible making its editing virtually impossible unless the source DIR format file is still present in the system. The use of this method is extremely functional when external movies created with the Adobe Director application are going to be distributed but the data of the movie needs to remain protected.

This software can virtually incorporate almost every major file type to support user creativity. Although the CXT format file cannot be edited or opened directly, it can be used with all movie and projector files generated by the Adobe Director. The CXT file extension normally works with the DIR (authoring file) format which can be used in relation with the Director Shockwave Studio. This file type must be accessed using the same version of the Director application that created it. The DXR format file on the other hand represents the Protected Director movie which can be played using an external projector. The CXT file extension is also associated with the DCR format file, a Shockwave movie that can be played back in any browser that can accommodate the Shockwave player. The CCT format is used by the compressed cast Shockwave.
