I think when you solve the xtras problem, the problem of it not being able
to find the file will go away.  I remember a project of mine where this
happened; when the QT xtras weren't included for whatever reason (and even
though it normally worked fine) because the xtras weren't there, it couldn't
find the video file.

The red box with the x is the key.  That means your video xtras aren't being
initialized.  If you're intending to use QuickTime to play the video, make
sure that all three QT xtras are included with your movie
(modify/movie/xtras).

Here's the problem:

I have a digital video file that will not play when a project is made into a
projector and run from a CD.
No matter what I change, it always wants to look for the file in its
absolute location (C:\blah blah) and not its relative location like it
should.
All I end up with is the red box and x that shows where the video should be.

I cannot change the fileName in the property inspector (It always goes back
to C:\etc\etc)
I even tried putting the following in "on StartMovie":

  a = the moviePath
  b = "DV_Content\PU_Intro.avi"
  c = a & b
  set the fileName of member "PU_Intro" to c

where "PU_Intro" is the cast member and
"DV_Content\PU_Intro.avi" is the filename
and relative location to the .exe.

Thanks,
