Menu.exe and myMovie.exe etc.

OK I want to have a group of around 3-4 Projectors on my CD...all controlled
from my Menu.exe Projector...the viewer will click on the button of the movie
they wish to see. I always thought this code would go to the new
projector...play it and return to the original movie(menu)...but I just get an
error message. Thanks for your time and advice.


on MouseUp
play "myTitle.exe"
end

Hi,

Do you really need to have 2-4 separate projectors? In Director, you can
create a single projector (which will be your inital movie) and jump to DIR or
DXR files using the command: go to movie. This will save you disk space since
all your movies will share your projectors run-time engine.

When I tried it with the go to movie...I got an error message about not having a gifXtra..I though packing each movie into a projector would include all the xtras I needed.

Ahhhh...never mind, I figured it out....it's a matter of using Modify>Movie>Xtras...thanks for your suggestion, Jayem
