Making a .exe projector from Mac OS

Question

I use director to make presentations. I am on a mac,
and have MX2004 which can make a .exe projector. But I can not see
to get the paths right so that the .exe projector can find the
videos. I was once told that the projector does not look from the
"top" of the path, but only follows "down" from where the projector
was created. Does this make sense? Is this true? Can you point me
to a resource?

Answer 1

Hi,
I found it best to have videos as the same level as the
movies that call them or in
sub folders, but not at a higher level. Higher level does
work though but I'd
recommend avoiding if you can. Video paths should be be fine
as long as you
maintain the same structure and path relationship from when
you import the video to
when you distribute on a CD. To ensure movies will always
find video, you can put
all the videos in the same folder as the movies that call
them. If you want to keep
your files tidy and more organized, you can create a stub
projector than links to
your starting movie in a sub directory. And in that sub
folder, you can have all
your Director movies and videos.
