I'd appreciate it if anyone has a solution to the following: When

sounds, and movies are referenced from Revolution and placed in a
folder separate
from the standalone, is there a way to hide the referenced folder so
that the
only thing the viewer sees is the standalone itself? Thanks.

Hi Steve,
Here's an OS X solution. If you set the defaultFolder to the folder
containing the stack, when you create a standalone all references to
relative file paths will be inside the .app bundle.
on openStack
# set the default folder to the folder containing the stack
get the effective filename of me
set the itemdel to slash
set the defaultFolder to item 1 to -2 of it
end openStack
# media files should now all be referenced in your scripts and
property inspectors as relative file paths; e.g., images/myimage.png;
sounds/mysound.wav.
Once your standalone is built, you need to make sure the media files
are copied into the .app bundle:
Right click on the Rev-created standalone and choose "Show Package
Contents".
In the Finder window that opens, navigate to folder Contents/MacOS.
Copy your media folders and files into the MacOS folder and close the
Finder window.
Presto! One neat .app file with no bothersome extra folders to move
around.
There isn't a similar trick for Windows that I know of, but most
Windows installers put the standalone into C:\Programs and make a
shortcut in the Start menu, effectively shielding the average user
from seeing the media folders.
