Question

Links to exe

I have two projects that are executeables located on the root of the same CD.
The first project is a menu with a click button which when clicked is supposed to open the other project saved as an exe. This project in turn is expected to return back to the main menu.exe when the last slide is shown.

However the the project just finishes with a white blank screen and the called executable project does not load to screen.

Any Ideas?

I have the same problem. I put in a question few days ago (I did not see that you have the same problem). Hope we get an answer.

Hi Mik and tykebrahe

I think the issue here is that any link from a movie published in .EXE format will always open in a new instance of either a different .EXE or a new instance of the browser. There simply isn't any way around that I'm aware of. Normally, the opening .EXE file remains on the screen behind the new .EXE that is opened. Then if your user closes the second .EXE, the first is still there and simply appears when the second is closed. You might want to consider configuring the end movie action

* Version 1 - Movie > Preferences...
* Version 2 - Project > Preferences...

Then look at the Start and End tab. Click the drop-down for the movie end action and set it to "Close movie".

Hope this helps... Rick
