Here is a bit of my understanding,
It is not necessary that there should be only one
projector.
Projectors (something.exe) are indeed executables and
not longer act like movies. So when the second
projector (executable) is called by your first movie,
you have to fire that like any exutable file ----
on yourEvent
open "secondProjector.exe"
end yourEvent
and this will execute your second projector from frame
1 untill and unless there is a parameter on the frame
1 of the second Projector telling it go somewhere
else. A note of reminder at this point that you better
quit your first projector as it is no longer needed,
this will save the users memory. So, add a lingo to
quit that project whenever you fire that above
mentioned yourEvent.
As for the reference, you can't attack anything/any
part inside a projector (to the best of my
understanding) unlike movies. And referencing anything
in director would be better to have a relative
reference, something like
on youEvent
open "yourSecondProjectorFolder\secondProjector.exe"
end yourEvent
Remember : it can't be called a linking between
projectors, they are not linked but one opens the
other.
-- if that secondProjector is within
<yourSecondProjectorFolder> and your main project is
at the root (which would become -- the root of your CD
or other media when distributed). This will work even
when you are within any directory in your
-- HDD, say for example, your whole project is inside
a folder on D drive
-- d:\cd_projects\thisproject\firstProjector.exe
-- then probably your secondProjector.exe would reside
in
--
d:\cd_projects\thisproject\yourSecondProjectorFolder\secondProjector.exe
Ok, But tell me how does that idea of having two
projector for a single project crops up in your mind.
Tell me some tips/tricks so that I may also improve my
knowledge of lingo more. I am quit a newbie in this
lingo.
