See create alias - pretty easy to use.
I can't promise that Rev won't resolve the alias and still have long
file name problems, but it may be worth a shot. You could probably
write a handler, if this works, that loops through all of your player
objects and does something
Setting a player to the alias resolves the alias and applies the
original path to the player's filename prop. So this alias option
doesn't get us anything. try it... make alias of long file name..

I am also noticing, on Mac, at least, the refusal to load images that are
reference by long name. For example, a file named Critical Thinking
Instructions.png will not load, but a file named Critical Thinking
Instr.png will. I haven't played around with enough to see if it is the

Hello Peter,
Assuming Mac OS...
Critical Thinking Instructions.png is 34 chars (you have to count
the extension)
Critical Thinking Instr.png is 27 chars.
The limit is 31 :-)

Is there a technical reason for Revolution having a 31 char limit in
Mac OS X? Obviously the OS and filesystem support longer file names
(256 chars) and there must be other Carbon application that support
long filenames.

I noticed that when I ran shell scripts to convert WAVE files to MP3, if the
