will be able to locate its source material to
re-assemble the show later. This is in
contrast to the Save Project option, which
establishes file links. With this option, if
source files are moved (even to a different
location on the same computer), the .shw
project file is unable to find them because
the file links identifying their locations
were broken.
To save a show using the Collect and
Optimize the Entire Show option:
1. Move the cursor over the Save Show
label, then click the Collect and
Optimize the Entire Show button.
Use the Collect and Optimize the Entire Show

The Show Settings dialog appears.
Use the Show Settings dialog to set how your
saved show will run.
2. Click the Click to Advance label, then
click the OK button. The Save dialog
appears.
With this setting enabled, the first
slide is displayed until you click the
mouse button. Each subsequent click
of the mouse button advances the
show to the next frame.
3. Enter SHOWOutput.sas in the
filename field, and set a location for
the show.
4. Click Save.
SHOW creates an .sas show file, and
also copies the files used in the show
into a folder located next to the .sas
file. The new folder has the same
name as the .sas file with the word
"media" added.
This way, you can move your
collected show files to a different
location on your hard drive, or your
entire show to another computer and
use SHOW or the SHOW Player to
play it as long as the .sas file is kept
beside the folder.

Lesson 2: Distributing a Show

Now that your show's been saved, you can
move it to any location on your system, or
E-mail it to another user. When you're
moving a show, you need to copy both the
.sas show file and its associated folder. You
also need to include the PC or Mac
SHOW Player Installer if the recipient
doesn't own SHOW.
In this lesson you'll learn how to E-mail
and play your show remotely.
To distribute a show using E-mail:
1. Make sure your show is saved using
the Collect and Optimize the Entire
Show button.
2. Locate the .sas project file, and its
associated content folder. The folder
has "media" appended to the show's
name.
