Hi, I'm new to this forum and although I've owned Hollywood since it's first release I'm just now getting familiar with programming it. Been using Designer up until now.

Anyway, I'm writing a test program to familiarize myself with Hollywoods language and notice that the mp3 functions seem to require you to specify the full path to the mp3 file, even if it's in the same directory as the script. This doesn't seem to be the case with the graphics file. With graphics files I can just put them in the same directory as the script and they will be found by just suppling the file name. No need to specify the path. I'd like to be able to do this with mp3 files so I don't have to hardwire a path. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Kevin

Hi,

sorry, but this is a bug in Hollywood 2.0 (I actually discovered it just recently last weekend!). The MP3s are opened by a separate streaming task which uses a different default path than the main Hollywood program. It will be fixed in the next version. Until then, you have to specify the full path.
