Thanks. I just opened my project, went to the storyboard and clicked on each
individual picture so it could browse for each one (that's after I put in the
cd with the pics on them!). Now I am saving the movie file. I'm hoping that
once its saved I can pop out the cd and be able to play that file without the
cd in there? That's how it should work, right? That way other people will
have access to the pictures in the file. Let me know if that doesn't sound
correct.
Thanks for your help...
