redGolgi (member here) wrote a little tutorial on some limitations she has experienced in the standalone/projector files and how she personally has gotten around them…

Check out Problem 4 :wink:

Note: If it doesn’t specify which 3rd party, that is because most (if not all) support that ability so check some out and make sure you get one that does.

[edit]
Also Note: These findings are solutions are those discovered by her, so there may be alternative ways. And the 3rd party software information was by her findings and opinions, so you may want to research them yourself as well if you decide to go that route. She has not tried all 3rd party softwares.

Thank redGolgi :slight_smile:

I told her to submit it to Kirupa, but she decided she will work more on it before she does that (like give more in depth reviews of the programs that she didn’t really read up on that much, and fix it up a bit, etc)
