Ok guys I have a question. I have a main presentation file with 3 external movies that load into the main file. The SWF version works great. Our clients use PC’s so I publish my files as windows projector files (exe). Problem is when I give them a CD of all 4 files, when they click on the main presentation file it doesn’t load the external movies…

Do I make the external movies SWF’s or EXE’s…

Right now I have the actionscript in the main presentation file like this…

[AS]  
loadMovie(“xray\_menu.exe”, 2);

[/AS]

Do the external movies need to be exe’s or should I just make the main file an exe and have the external movies all SWF’s…

As of right now making them all exe’s isn’t working…

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Greg
