Yea, I know, this has been asked before. But I find that there is far too much gray area with how these projector files work on either plateform (pc and mac) on CD. So if you can take the time to help, I’d be very greatful.
Ok, I have a CD project going right now. It’s actually quite elaborate. In order to update it bi-weekly, I have made several swf files to load (loadMovie function) into the main projector movie. Each of these submovies have submovies. So, as you’re probably guessing, there tends to be a lot of files for one full project, and the use of subfolders is a necessity!!
So far everything works beautifully on PC. I’ve managed to juggle going into the subfolders and back out of them with no problem. But This is where my problem begins… I read a few different contradictory statements with regards to MAC (and of course I can’t test anything out because I don’t own a mac):
-
MAC projectors don’t support subfolders… and that all the sub “.swf” files have to be in the main directory.
-
You have to use “:” instead of the “/” to direct the mac projector to load the sub movies in subfolders.
Is there any truth to these statements? or should my CD work on a mac as it does on PC?
Some other information: I’m using macimage to make a hybred CD… From what it says in the help menu, macimage uses binhex to decode the .hqx file so that it can load in a mac. I’m loading the “main” submovies on level 0 and loading the sub sub movies in placed movie clips.
Like I said above, if anyone out there can help me or atleast ease my mind on how the Mac side will react with my project… please let me know… I’d be forever greatful!! Thanks
