Setting Files options
Use the Files tab to set file options for projectors. By default a projector consists of just the current movie, but you
can add external casts to the movie by using this tab. You can also exclude Xtra extensions from your projector.
During publishing in Director, you can use the Copy Linked And Dependent Files feature to copy external cast files,
linked files, and dependent files to the projector or Shockwave file.
Linked cast files and dependent files that are in a relative path are copied to the same relative location to the projector
as they are to the movie file.
Linked cast files and dependent files that are in an absolute path to the movie file are copied to the Linked Files and
Dependent Files folders, which are created automatically in the folder containing the projector. For Shockwave files,
the folders Linked Files and Dependent Files are created within the automatically created dswMedia folder.
If you deselect this option, the behavior is similar to that in Director MX 2004. Refer to the Director MX 2004 User
Guide for details.
Scenario 1: Consider an image file (image1.jpg) placed in a relative path to the movie file (movie1.dir), and imported
as a linked cast member into the movie.
Path of the movie file: C:\movie\movie1.dir
Path of the linked file: C:\movie\images\image1.jpg
When this movie is published to the D:\publish folder, the images folder is automatically copied to the D:\publish
folder for the projector and the D:\publish\dswMedia folder for the Shockwave file.
Path of the projector file: D:\publish\projector.exe
Path of the Shockwave file: D:\publish\movie.dcr
Path of the linked file for the projector: D:\publish\images\image1.jpg
Path of the linked file for the Shockwave file: D:\publish\dswMedia\images\image1.jpg
Scenario 2: Consider an image file (image1.jpg) in an absolute path to the movie file (movie1.dir), and imported as
a linked cast member into the movie.
Path of the movie file: C:\movie\movie1.dir
Path of the linked file: D:\images\image1.jpg
When this movie is published to the D:\publish folder, a folder called Linked Files is automatically created in the
publish folder and the linked image is placed inside it. For Shockwave files, the Linked Files folder is created within
the dswMedia folder.
Path of the projector file: D:\publish\projector.exe
Path of the Shockwave file: D:\publish\movie.dcr
Path of the linked file for the projector: D:\publish\Linked Files\image1.jpg
Path of the linked file for the Shockwave file: D:\publish\dswMedia\Linked Files\image1.jpg
Dependent files are handled similarly to linked files during publishing. A folder called Dependent Files is created
and the dependent files are placed inside it.
Set options using the Files tab
Select File > Publish Settings. The Publish Settings dialog box appears.
