    Hi there.
    Got (another!) question on standalone exe's.
    I''ve got to produce a flash movie to go on a CD. I thought originally it
    would be one movie which I could publish as a Projector file to be burned
    onto the CD.
    However, the project has got much larger as I've gone along and now I'm at 3
    separate movies which get loaded into each other as they go along (this
    might be a really clumsy way, but I don't know any better, I'm afraid!)
    My question is, when it comes to putting the whole lot onto the CD, what is
    the best way to get everything on it? That is to say, should I publish the
    firat movie as a Projector file and include the other 2 swf files along with
    it or is there a way of publishing all three as the one exe file or is there
    a much simpler and nicer solution that I am missing.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Cheers!

    Having multiple seperate movies is not a bad solution, it's a great way to keep your code clean and seperate, and reuse specific elements.

    Now, as for a projector you only need to create an .exe out of the main movie, not the loaded movies.. those can remain as SWFs.

    If you would like, you may rename these to another extension, just make to use the correct filename in your LoadMovie commands.

    Thanks a lot for the info!
    Sorry to sound stupid, but what other file extension could I use and what would be the benefit of it?
    Cheers!
