From: mradcliff111 on 2 Apr 2009 10:50 I'm really starting to regret Upgrading to Director 11. I didn't have any of these issues going from MX to MX 2004. All I'm trying to do is make a simple projector work on a Mac and it's one issue after another. Not to mention all this after updating a whole boat load of Xtras 11 requires. The new one is this; Unable to load movie playlist. Does the INI file exsist? It must contain a section '(Movies)' with an entry 'Movies01=pathname.dir'. I've already read a couple of other forum post with the same error message going on with others but can't find certain files required to make the fix like the 'Projec32.skl', and I don't know how to read, let alone make an .INI file. I'll mention I got this error after updating to Shockwave 11 EVEN though I was not publishing a Shockwave movie. I know I just need to include a certain file on my CD when I burn one because all works great on the desk top, but I'm throwing darts trying to figure out what the CD burn is missing. So to make a long story short does anyone know what I might be missing? I'm new to making director movies for the Mac, and even using a Mac so I might need it spelled out a little more for being a novice. Thanks in advance. :o)> PS I tried making a Mac Projector from my PC with no good results either.

that's likely going to be a path length issue. At least that's the message you get on a pc. I believe the longest path you can have to your movie is 256 characters (including the name of the movie). Try moving your director file closer to the root of the drive and republishing the movie. Mike M |
