Anyway, Director can't find the video in a video folder below its
subdirectory and it can't even find it in the SAME directory that my
projector is in. The ONLY way we've ever gotten this video to be found is a
straight hard-coded path. (ie. D:\Main\video\video.mpg)

I know this is basic but have you tried the searchPaths.
I use advanceXtra and still had to use this on one project as I kept losing
the video.
-- assuming your vids are on the CD with your App
set videoPath = the moviePath & "video"
add the searchPaths, videoPath
otherwise could you build the hard coded path by
interating through the drive list using fileXtra and use that in the
searchpaths or directly by appending the video name
--- watch line breaks
on findCD
fxObj = new(xtra "FileXtra3")
CD=""
DriveList=fxObj.fx_VolumesToList()
repeat with i= 1 to DriveList.count
isLocked= fxObj.fx_VolumeIsCDROM(DriveList[i])
if isLocked then
isRemovable= fxObj.fx_VolumeIsRemovable(DriveList[i])
if isRemovable then
CD=DriveList[i]
exit repeat
end if
end if
end repeat
fxObj=void
if CD<>"" then
return CD & "Main\video\"
else
return "CD drive, What CD drive?"
end if
end
