AW: [V4MD]: Mac OSX error -61 in projector

[Christian Kirchhoff]

Hello Tschoatscho,

thanks for your hints.

I am opening the database in a frame script that is in the first frame of
the "main movie" (the one that is opened by the stub movie/projector).

I don't think that it is a Unix problem, because the same problem applies to
Mac OS Classic.

Plus: As I wrote my former project uses exactly the same strategy, and that
project works on both Mac OS Classic and Mac OS X.

But I will write a test movie where I open the database a little later, and
see what happens then.

Regards,

Christian

The only difference between executing code from the message window 
and executing code from a script is the time when it happens.
Maybe you try to access the Db-Files on the CD-ROM when the machine 
is just filling up some volume cache or something like that.
When do you try to open the database in your code? on prepareMovie? 
Maybe you should give some time for the drive to "breath" or to the 
projector to apply it's process user rights (don't know to much about 
UNIX, sorry ;-). I know this sounds stupid and naive but regarding to 
the symptoms you described this might be a solution.
