I finally got the solution! Thanks Kurt and all for your help. As Kurt suspected, LDM where the culprits. It seems that you must protect LDM movies first, and movies in wich they have been imported after. Otherwise, the projector will try to locate the unprotected version of the main movie when

Slava, I am not exactly sure what format your plist files are in, but in the bundles I have done, they are in an XML format... Based on the download from: http://www.macromedia.com/support/director/ts/documents/bundle_proj.htm My info.plist file reads (watch for linebreaks): ?xml version=1.0

Thanks again, Matt! I'm sorry about the notation I used. It doesn't really matter--I used the format that is most readable. The XML formatting doesn't always work in email. I used the Save As command in the OS X Property List editor. My bundle now works both under OS X and OS 9, although it is

Hi all... In Bruce Epstein's book Lingo In A Nutshell, page 566, it talks about including the lingo.ini file alongside the projector. This, I assume, is in addition to the projectorName.ini file I always include. I've never included a lingo.ini file when distributing my stuff on a CD (Windows),

I've never included a lingo.ini file when distributing my stuff on a CD (Windows), but things have always worked. Is it really necessary to do this? You don't need the projector.ini either, unless you're trying to initialize something before the preparemovie of the first movie. I believe that

Not necessary, but handy. You can define global variables there, and your projector will read them. You can establish settings there as well, such as set the soundkeepdevice to 0. In other words, if there's a setting or variable you want to be able to change without modifying your movie or

Hi Diego, I have used Valentina DB (www.paradigmasoft.com) with success for these sorts of things and have been fairly happy. You have the option of storing filenames/paths in a text field, or actually storing the image data ITSELF inside a BLOB field. With the xtra you can also bind specific
