Ok guys, but what about my questions? I mean that according to M technotes, the Fieio xtra needs to be put into the xtra list from popupmenu, but option "include into movie or dowload if needed needs to be both unchecked. According to same fileio technote, i need to make a folder, call it xtra then export the movie as projector, all other xtras are then builded in, but file io is externally loaded.
But somehow, on my g4, all options are working same, except on size of resulting projector. I'am aware of the dcr like compression, and also about the needed time to decompress, and the extra ram, processor time needed for this. But, what i need to know is if the compress projector and compress media option have influence on the way the fileio xtra is readed. According to another technote, when exporting as Shockwave, some fileio lingo doesn't work anymore, resulting in error player messages. Because my author machine accepts all kinds of projector without any differences, its difficult to test.
