Path problems on PC to mac transfer

[retina burner webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I've created a crossplatform project. I am using a MAC with Toast to burn my CDs. At this point in time I'm only interested in burning the PC side to disc. When I do this my QT movies and PDF's can't be found b/c the projector keeps looking for the C: drive on the PC platform.
It asks:
Where is - C:/Desktop Folder/Young Students/Movies/nameofQT.mov
Where is - C:/Desktop Folder/Young Students/PDf Folder/nameofPDF.pdf

In the past it has been so easy to to burn a PC projector / disc on a MAC, this week is different.
What's going on?? How can I pick up the path at (Young Students/Movies/nameofQT.mov) level?

Trying not to loose it,
-Will

Is your projector running off the CD, it's tricker for a projector
copied to hard drive to find resources on a CD of unknown drive
designation (unlike on a Mac where a predefined CD volume name sticks)


If you are running projector off CD and wanted for example to jump to a
director one folder down you could:

go to movie the pathName & "assets\main"

Note the backslash is windows specific, needs to be colen(:) on Mac.

not the lack of extension on "main" director will automatically locate
a .dir, .dxr, .dcr or extensionless version, leave extension off so
testing with .dir still works with protected .dxr files.

Those 2 files appear to be "linked" not embedded.

Videos are always linked - no way around it ... the PDF is best left linked too.

Director always remembers the DIRECT path to a file, not relative.

Therefore you have to tell the projector to look elsewhere for the files at runtime.
