Hi great list,
here comes a somewhat funny question:
I have a project that uses external casts (I plan to use a stub projector in
the end), but when I am trying to test the project it seems like the
projector totally ignores the external casts. It works fine if I include
them in the projector
Hi Kristian

stub projector in the end), but when I am trying to test the

projector but then the point of having them
Hi again and thanks...
seems strange to me that the only way to use external casts is to make a
stub movie - is this assumption correct? But if this is the way to go I
can live with that...
Having the same trouble (not getting external casts to load) when using
MIAW's that uses external casts...

Karina gave you a good answer on protecting the casts. No further

OK, sorry about the lack of information... here we go...
For the external cast question, no, you don't have to have a stub,
though Karina's suggestion is good for other reasons. For a MIAW to have
access to an external cast, it needs to be included in the stage movie.
It can be external, but
The external cast needs to be included? In both the MIAW and
in the stage movie? I assume I just use the (in somewhat
pseudo): castlib(whatCast).fileName = moviePath

It doesn't need to be included in the projector, but it needs to be
specifically linked. Modify | Movie
Thanks again for answer.
Seems like some things are straightened out for me now.
I actually did get it to work with external casts and projectors (using
CastControl) will try the other tips that I have gotten from you as well.
Another MIAW issue:
When my main movie opens a MIAW that contains a

Could be since I only use puppetSprites that are in frame one for controling
the items on stage. Preloader maybe would do the trick? Thanks for answer.

I'm not sure if this is your problem, but the only time I've
found that you HAVE to include an external cast in the
projector is
Hey Kerry :)
Karina gave you a good answer on protecting the casts. No
further needed, except to emphasize _save a backup_ before
you protect! Once you protect it, that's it. You can't unprotect it.
That's why I like using the publish to shockwave button - your originals
remain intact, and
I do handle forgetMIAW with closeWindow and such.
How are you handling the MIAW closing? Code specifics, please--there's a
nasty gotcha with closing MIAWs.
Cordially,

I think the Xtras-Protect Movies is a bit risky, because it remove
the
originals, even though you get every opportunity to backup.
I have to admit I got bitten by that about 6 months ago, and you'd think
I'd know better. It cost me two days' work.
Now, I always make a copy into a separate

How are you handling the MIAW
The code for closing is as follows:
on closeWindow
global gMQTWin
close gMQTWin
forget gMQTWin
put Closed MIAW
end closeWindow
How are you calling the closeWindow handler?

Hi,
to the best of my knowledge, there is no need to link a MIAW's external
casts to the main movie (but as long as they are set to Load when needed
I suppose it probably won't hurt) - in fact I'm working on a project right
now where all the MIAW's have external casts that are not linked to
The code for closing is as follows:
on closeWindow
global gMQTWin

I am not calling it since the documentation stated that it is

using the window's close box. Any suggestions?
Indeed. You need to explicitly forget the MIAW.
It's a bit more involved than it appears. You can't have the MIAW forget
I am developing right now on XP, has anyone got a solution
except using mpegs and Tabuleiro extras? Is this a common
thing with Quicktime and MIAW's?
I'm not sure it's a MIAW and QT issue. I've heard reports of problems
with QT in a MIAW, but it's a common method people use to do a screen
