Sorry Tab, I have to disagree with that bit... There's an excellent usage
for the lingo.ini file, as a companion to a fast-start "universal
projector".
Have a look at this handler:
global gfMovie
on startUp
gfMovie = "Main"
end startUp
and this handler:
global gfMovie
on startMovie
go movie gfMovie
end
The first will go into the lingo.ini file and the second one will go into a
stub director movie that's compiled into a fast-start projector - with
nothing else in it. The moment you double click the projector, it will open
a movie called "movie". Then, you can just copy and pase your projector,
lingo.ini file and extras folder into any director project folder and all
you need to do is open the lingo.ini and change your gfMovie handler into
whatever you want.
That will save you making seperate stub projectors for each project.
A note: it has to be saved as a global, because you can't execute a "go to
movie" command from the lingo.ini
PS: You can also use it to define other globals for usage in any of your
movies (not just the stub - globals carry over across movies unless
"clearGlobals" is used)
