Hi guys
I have a project where I allow the user to import sounds into a
projector. And I want the sounds to stay "in the projector" when
the user opens it next time.
This has caused me some problems. On stopMovie I do:
saveMovie
save castLib "sounds"
but when I open the projector again, the so

If I've two running projectors (proj_1 and proj_2) is there a way to pass

Something like "tell (projector) to..." as with MIAW?

Hello all...
I am a newcomer to Director and this list and have searched the archives and
the couple of books I have about this, but have some misunderstanding that I
would love if someone could clarify for me.

I misspoke, of course...you *could* use OPEN to launch the projector...
but you would not be able to do error checking or have any further

You can use 'the applicationPath' to get the path of your own projector, so
the second projector will be on the same drive. Chances are that is your
working directory anyway, so you don't need to specify the path of the
second projector.
Then use Lingo's 'open' command, as in: open "SECOND

Are you changing the names of the INI files after you copy them over? I
always thought that a projector will only run an INI file if it has the same
name as the executable file, i.e. Project.exe and Project.ini
I don't know what commands you're using, but if you've properly specified
the file(s), then it should work. File copies should not "miss" and "hit"
other files.
It is possible in the .INI file to specify the file (movie) to run; if you
have been using that feature, and the new .INI file does

or use relative paths. you can use folders that are at the same level as
your projector, add to it the folder, the proper file delimiter for the
platform you're on, and the name of the sound or animation file...

Go to http://bwsmith.com/index.php?t=2&s=3.
This is a link to Britton Smith's "FastSplash" application. It's a C-driven
app that displays a bitmap image instantly while loading another app in the
background. Point this to your Projector and you have instant display while
the main prog is loading.
Hi, I have the same problem with my projects, if you find any solution
please tell me, cause I need it too.
