Yeah; I thought about a 'player only' exe that would load in an
external xml I create (since that's how it's working internally) --
the trouble is that they wanted it to be 'packaged' for playback; my
original thought was using the QTXtra to export a full Quicktime movie
with all the slides as one quicktime - but to go full on Flash (and
flv) would negate that entirely.

I had thought I could use the F8 filters as well as part of the new
version - but since Director doesn't support that, only MX, that kills
that as well.

So my choices are:
a) flash plays in director shell and export talks to Director, exports
packaged zip with player and external media, xml of slideshow, MX only
effects
b) cut up the interface so that it's half flash and half Director, and
export Quicktime movie as the slideshow; becomes a bit of a pita as
Flash and Quicktime (on the stage) can't share the same rects without
some hassle.
c) have 2 different video files - flv and quicktime externally; user
sees flv but when they make an export I deal wtih the QT assets and
export QT. MX effects only but no Quicktime/Flash bothering.
d) A guiliess director app launches an F8 projector and they speak to
each other through a localconnection, same type as c.

So it might still be possible...

Thanks.
