Re: absolute vs relative pathnames

I've never done that in Shockwave. I don't know if it would be anything different than from a projector, but here's how I would approach it. You said that the QT movie is at the same directory level as your Director movie, so just take the current value of "the moviePath", and concatenate on

Melinda, One has been able to burn files to a dvd-rom, that come from director, and run them from a computer for a while, but I know of no way the director application can directly author dvds that are playable in traditional home dvd players... Director is not a dvd-authoring tool, ala scenar
