Re: Director & lingo & xtras on embedded windows

TIm, WinCE is an entirely different OS; it's designed for a much less powerful processor / memory system. XPE is essentially a "skinnied down" version of WinXP.

Some third party work was done a couple of years ago to export Director files to WinCE, but I don't think it's supported. (sharpxtras.com)

Thanks John, that's most useful, I am definitely going to look into the
whole embedded platforms in greater detail.  Do you know why the
projectors will not work on the CE platform?  Or have a link to any
macromedia \ Microsoft technotes that may be of use?

Many thanks

Tim

I believe the problem is the limited memory -- I use 512 MB Compact
Flash,
with 256 Mb ram.  No doubt I could improve memory usage, but a daily
restart
is not a bad alternative.  Of course, more memory should also help.

I'm using an XPE image that takes around 400Mb, leaving 100MB for my app
&
swap space...my app is around 10-15 MB (all dcr & cct).

I expect I could optimize the XPE image further, but that's what I have
now.

Excellent, Thanks a lot John, do you know in what respect you are

having

problems with the virtual memory, is this cause you are booting from a
disk and there is no hard drive, or because the XP image you have does
not include the virtual memory options etc or something else.  And

could

this be alleviated by having just a massive amount of good quality RAM
in?

Thanks very much

Tim

Does anybody have any experience with using director (any version)
projectors on Windows CE or Windows XP Embedded platforms.


I have about 35 units deployed with Windows XP Embedded.  I was
surprised at
how well it works. The main problem I'm having is related to virtual
memory.
I addressed this by doing a daily restart.

Windows CE will not run a projector.
