Re: FLASH: how to make mac projector with windows

[Michael@BTW]

Sorry for the quick response, Karin. Sounded to me like you knew the answers

and were just seeking confirmation rather than seeking a 'how-to'. PCs lose

the resource fork Mac applications require to run, so you have to pack the

file in a compressor that preserves it intact. .hqx is a standard mac

compressor, equivalent to .zip on the PC. You simply take the file to the

Mac and double click it, launching stuffit expander (installs with NS/MSIE

and comes with 7.6+ Mac systems). Then create a cross platform CD master

using Toast on a Mac (if you are sending a CD out to a production house, it

is best send them a golden master to duplicate).


You may be able to convert it on a website, but if you save the converted

files on a PC it will not run properly on a Mac.

Doesn't sound like a good marketing pitch to me;-)...
