Director Player Error
|
From: Word of Mouth Productions on 15 Mar 2006 12:11 I've seen this before and I don't remember what the issue is. Unable to load movie playlist. Does the .INI file exist? It must contain a section '[Movies]' with an entry "Movie01=Pathname.dir' Does anyone know why I'm getting this? I'm running Director MX from a stub projector which accesses a movie called main.dir which is protected. I've changed the file extension to .dir from .dxr. This is the protocol I always use.

From: Rob Dillon * * on 15 Mar 2006 12:23 that line should read: Movie01=main The .ini file needs to be at the same level as the projector. Use the movie's name with no extension. There should be no quotes around anything in that line. The projector is actually looking for the .dll files: Dirapi.dll, Iml32.dll, msvcrt.dll, Proj.dll. I place these in the Xtras folder for each platform. I don't remember what the problem was either. As I remember, the projector thinks its a SW projector and so it needs the .dll files. MX 2004 doesn't have this problem. -- Rob _______ Rob Dillon Adobe Community Expert http://www.ddg-designs.com 412-243-9119 http://www.macromedia.com/software/trial/
From: Word of Mouth Productions on 15 Mar 2006 12:29 Is this a Director limitation or a Windows limitation? I just switched to baShortFileName for reading text files because of the path limitation and now this. Is there a workaround?

From: Word of Mouth Productions on 15 Mar 2006 12:30 Those dll's are there. The ini file is there but the .ini is optional so it shouldn't matter. The path length does seem to be the culprit.
