Authorware Help Packaged Files

MpegXtra icons operate only under Windows 95, 98 and Windows NT. Therefore, you should create your executables to Windows 95 and Windows NT. You should also deliver the MpegXtra.x32 file in a folder named XTRAS, located in the same directory of your executable.

The final structure of files should look like:
Executable - C:\myproj\proj.exe
Xtra file - C:\myproj\Xtras\MpegXtra.x32

The Xtra will automatically locate all linked Media files that are located in the same directory of the executable, or in any directory listed in Authorware's searchpath variable. Additional directories can also be specified using the SEARCHPATHS list attached to each MpegXtra castmember. This list can be edited directly from the MpegXtra castmember properties dialog box and is saved with the castmember in the Director movie. Both absolute and relative directory entries may be used. Relative directories are evaluated in relation to the packaged executable, while absolute directories must contain a drive letter and complete pathname information.

Examples:
Relative directory entry: media
Absolute directory entry: E:\media
