Paul,
I am on Digest, so if this hasn't been covered, let me offer this ...
Create a placeholder cast (external - linked). This cast will contain a
single
one bit, bitmap member. Use this single dot member to position your
video(s)
Then create two new non-linked casts, one for QT members, and one for
DirMedia members. Then in start movie
if Mac then
castlib("placeholder").filename = the moviePath & "QTvideos"
else
... "WinVideos"
This way the Mac never sees the DirMedia members, and Win never sees the QT.
Needless to say, you'll need to be working on both systems.
Hope this gets you started
Jim
