Use the searchPaths ( a built-in global) to create a linear list of folders that are checked when your movie needs to find linked media. I usually put the call in a startMovie handler:
--assuming media in folders at the same level as your projector: on startMovie tPath1 = the moviePath&"videos" tPath2 = the moviePath&"sounds" the searchPaths = [tPath1, tPath2] end This tells your movie to check these folders before tossing up an error. *Note that you can freely leave out the delimiter, if you're not writing long paths- tPath1 = the moviePath&"videos" tPath1 = the moviePath&"videos\" tPath1 = the moviePath&"videos:" -all work the same except that the first is cross-platform. /Clars Clars Danvold MDD interaktivt design [EMAIL PROTECTED] COMONTO Levende digitalt design Rosenorns Alle 18, 1.

When I play the projector on another computer it says he can't find the movie. It's a problem of relative and absolute path but how can I change this?
