Settings / Requirements

[John-oh]

Hiya all,

When I insert the Full path eg D:\Mediaplay\Test\Distribution\Flashinstall.exe in the Macromedia flash URL information box all is well when I preview, but if I put %SrcDir%\Flashinstall.exe nothing happens, the same applies to the help file. I assume the same for Explorer and Media control.
Am I doing something wrong ? Has the project not yet detected %SrcDir% ?
Choosing the Distribution Folder ref is an option on right click, this would seem the obvious way as it would pick up the correct Drive letter.

Any thoughts ?

Re: Settings / Requirements

Are you sure that's your distribution folder? What is the distribution folder path set to in your project settings?

Yup,

I'm using my distribution folder. In fact I right click in the fields in Settings / requirements and use the Distribution Folder Reference and then click on the actual file required. I'm trying to get this to work so its only a test project. The Flash URL comes up (I've set it to look for version 8.0.0. so it always comes up) with %SrcDrv%\filename.exe - I would have thought this should be replaced with a path ?

Or have I missed something obvious ?

I've confirmed this, and have logged it as a bug. Unless I'm missing something as well. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
