> where do I set the moviepath to the files (for CD playback)
You don't set a moviePath; moviePath is a function that returns the path to
the current .dir, .dcr, or .dxr file.
> they are contained in a folder inside the root directory
That's your answer. You should set a string variable when your app starts
up that contains that path, and then use it when you want to play your
external files. Example:
global sPath
on startMovie
if the platform contains "windows" then
sPath = the moviePath & "MyExternalFiles\"
else
sPath = the moviePath & "MyExternalFiles:"
end if
end
Then later, assuming your app sets filenames at runtime, you'd use:
global sPath
member("myVideo").filename = sPath & "myMovie.mov" -- whatever
It's common to put external audio & video files in their own respective
folders - unnecessary of course, but useful for projects that use tons of
external files.
Hope this helps,
