[v4MD] Publishing projector - script error

[Martin S.]

with "modify->movie->xtras" you select only xtras which will be COMPILED IN the Projector (the exe-file itself).
You don't have to do that for all Xtras you need. 
Projector's size gets bigger and bigger as you compile a lot of xtras with it, which will result in a serious performance hit on starting the projector... 

Just create a subfolder "Xtras" in your application directory and copy your x32-files in it.
When deploying your movie, you have to make sure that you include that Xtras-Folder with your application. 

Also you have to make sure that there are no conficts. 
(Example: in old Valentina 1.xx, it was not possible to include the V4MD.x32 and V4MD_CLient.x32 in the Xtras-Folder at the same time because they exported the same function names, which resulted in strange errors..)

A projector always searches for that subfolder and loads all xtras it found in it.
Note: The subfolder's name has to be exactly "Xtras" and must be in the same directory as the projector.exe .
