path problem

[stargazer424]

I've looked through these forums and tried out some things mentioned here, but
I cant seem to get this to work. Heres the problem: In my Director file I
have .mov files, but i cant set a relative path for them. I want to export
the director file as dcr, but when i move the files or burn them to a disk the
..mov files dont show up b/c its looking for them on a directory on my computer..

I tried using this example

on preparemovi
member("video1").filename = the moviepath & "dswmedia/video1.mov
en

but it didnt work...any suggestions

I think the correct windows path delimiter is backslas

But the best way to get the coorect pathdelimiter for any system is to store
the last char of the moviePat
on preparemovi
pathDelimiter = the last char of the moviePat
member("video1").filename = the moviepath & "dswmedia" & pathDelimiter &
"video1.mov
en

You need to build the application using a Directory structure that is
exactly like it will be on deployment. So you need to start with a dswmedia
folder where you store your QT assets, then you won't need to worry about
relative paths. As John mentioned, the path delimiter for windows is a
backslash.
