saveMovie

Syntax

saveMovie {pathName&fileName}

Description

Command; saves the current movie. Including the optional parameter saves the movie to the file specified by pathName:fileName. This command does not work with compressed files. The specified filename must include the .dir file extension.

The saveMovie command doesn't support URLs as file references, and is disabled in Shockwave.

In projectors, saveMovie only works on external .dir files. Executing the saveMovie command in a projector does not save the projector file itself.

Example

This statement saves the current movie in the Update file:

saveMovie the moviePath & "Update.dir"
