No, it is not possible. In order to create a Mac projector, you
must create it on a Mac. Depending on the complexity of your program
- that is if you do not expect to have any cross platform issues, or
if you handle cross platform issues in your code:
global gWin
if the platform contains "Win" then
gWin = TRUE
else
gWin = FALSE
end
And use this global flag when you need to do something different
depending on what platform you are on. Then you can use a "stub
projector". This is a small Director program which does nothing but
a:
go to movie "Main" -- where Main is your real Director movie.
Then the small movie is turned into an executable. These "stub
projectors" are available somewhere (?) on the web.
But, if you are developing a commercial product, then it's the best
advice is to build your program on all target platforms and test
these regularly.
Good luck,
