If you think you'll be changing them a lot, it's best to either have them as linked files, or at least keep the source file around and reimport it, so you can always edit the source file.
However, yes, you can do it. Go to File | Preferences | Editors and there you will see a list of the media types that Director supports. Choose the type you want, click "edit" to edit the definition, and then choose an external editor to set for that media type. Then, when you go to edit your castmember, it'll invoke that editor. I find this method cumbersome, and prefer to just keep a source file, but if you ever need to "extract" your sound or bitmap from Director, this is one way to pull it off, though I don't like doing it this way on a regular basis. - Tab At 09:21 PM 5/5/02 +0800, noelle cheng wrote: >Hi, > > >If I have already imported say a sound file or bitmap for use into >Director, is it possible to remove it so that I may edit/ amend >it outside of Director? > >Or is it that once imported, it can only be used within Director and >cannot be further amended? > > >Noelle [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
