Re: re: Custom icon screwing up Windows projector

[Slava Paperno]

My pleasure! Visit www.microangelo.us/FAQ.asp and scroll halfway down (or 
Find "Director" in the page). You'll see short step-by-step instructions 
for changing a Director porjector's icon. I've been using that program and 
that procedure with Dir 8.5 under Windows 2000, and it works as advertised. 
Under Windows XP with Director MX I continue using the skl files that I 
made for 8.5 under WIndows 2000, and they work fine, too.

The process is essentially this: you use Microangelo to modify Director's 
Projec32.skl file (a Director resource). When you make a projector with the 
modified Projec32.skl in Director's folder, the projector has your modified 
icon. End of story. Just have to be careful and keep the original 
Projec32.skl in a safe place.

I keep a customized version of the Projec32.skl file for each of my 
projects, and before making a projector, I copy the the corresponding skl 
file to Director's folder. Since I use fast-start stub projectors for my 
projects, I don't have to make projectors that often, so it's not that much 
of a hassle.

Slava - you mentioned the latest version of MicroAngelo comes with a Read 
Me file for Director users. I didn't see this - can you give more details?

I was wondering why I didn't see a simple 1-2-3 set of steps for us 
(Director users) somewhere in the help file etc.
