I'm trying to create a projector from my .dir. When I go 'create projector' I
can't seem to add all the external cast. I can only add the .dir file. Is there
something I'm missing? I've tried creating the projector with only the .dir but
then when I open it, it's always looking for the external files. Is there a way
to make all the external files already built in my .dir, even after I finished
everything. Thanks.

I found out what was wrong with the external files, except for one.. a
quicktime movie. For some reason, even though I saved it as an external cast,
and I am able to select it when I create the projector, it's always looking for
it.. when I try to open the projector.. HELP!!!

QuickTime files are always external and linked to the cast member. You
have to ship the file with the projector

Well I saved the quicktime file and all the other files as a .cst (Macromedia Director Cast) and when I did the projector I selected the .cst and the .dir.. but it still doesn't work

You can't do that. You must keep it as a .mov file and ship it with the
projector as Sean said.

Well, you [i]might[/i] get away with changing the file name extension, but
you'll still need to include the video file on the CD.

[b]You cannot include a QT file in the projector itself.[/b] Period.

All of this information is available in the Help files. Probably under
Digital Video or QuickTime.
