Using LC 6.6.2. I use this feature to be able to use relative (to the stack) pathnames for images, sounds and movies during development (-> set the filename of img 1 to "sections/a_picture.jpg" or enter this in the inspector for the filename) and THAT feature makes sure this will also work in a standalone :-) Hope that helps! > Regards, > > Scott Rossi > Creative Director > Tactile Media, UX/UI Design Best Klaus -- Klaus Major http://www.major-k.de [email protected] _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
