Loading external swfs with swfXXL V 1.0.5
The problem is
simple: You have your swfXXL exe-file on a CD, you want to load some
external swfs containing large data like video footage - but how can
you get the path to that special directory on that special drive without
knowing your user's PC?
Our solution is as simple as well:
swfXXL now automatically generates the "basepath.txt" file,
that lies right next to the main projector in the temporary directory.
Now simply read the basepath variable from that file:
(Flash 4:)
Load Variables ("basepath.txt", 0)
(Flash 5 or higher:)
loadVariablesNum
("basepath.txt", 0);
Now you know
the variable "basepath". It may contain a string like "d:\" if the swfXXL-file
lies on a CD. Or maybe "c:\windows\desktop" if it lies on yourdesktop,
or wherever - swfXXL finds that path on it's own.
Now, if you want to load an external swf, e.g. "video.swf" from a folder
"data" on a CD, simply combine the paths:
(Flash 4:)
Load Movie (/:basepath &
"data\video.swf", 1);
(Flash 5 or higher:)
loadMovieNum (_root.basepath
+ "data\video.swf", 1);
Whoop - there it
is!

New update
to version 1.0.4 now available
The new version of swfXXL (both for the professional and the personal
edition) supports dual monitor systems and fixes a bug that might have
occured on some graphic boards running with Windows XP. As not all graphic
board XP drivers support the 512x384 resolution, swfXXL will now show
a short message and switch to the next higher resolution (instead of
quitting).
Go to the DOWNLOAD area to
get your swfXXL update. Of course all swfXXL customers have already
received their updates in as a download link via e-mail.
