If you encounter a problem, try to isolate the problem in a new Director file that incorporates only the problem
feature or item. Make a list of the minimum steps that are required to reproduce the problem in a new file. This
process usually reveals the source of the problem and whether the problem is limited to one feature, or if it is caused
by the interaction of two or more features in your movie.
•
Try to re-create the problem with different media. Sometimes the source of a problem is within a specific media
item used in your movie.
•
Try to re-create the problem on a different computer. This helps isolate problems with the hardware configu-
ration or with the Director installation on a specific computer. If the problem exists only when the movie is posted
to a server, determine whether the problem exists on only one server or all servers. Occasionally the server's MIME
types might need editing to include the MIME types for Director. For more information, see Director TechNote
16509, Configuring your server for Shockwave, at

JavaScript™ syntax is case-sensitive. Classic Lingo is not.
Printing movies
You can print movie content to review it and mark changes, to distribute edits to a team, to make handouts from a
presentation, or to see your work on paper. You can print a movie while in authoring mode in several ways. You can
print any of the following:
•
An image of the Stage in standard or storyboard format
•
The Score
•
The cast member number and contents of text cast members in the Cast window
•
All scripts or a range of scripts (movie, cast, the Score, and sprite scripts)
•
Cast text, cast art, and cast thumbnails
•
The comments in the Markers window
•
The Cast window artwork, or the entire Cast window.
You can use script to control printing. For more information, see the Scripting Reference topics in the Director Help
Panel.
