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"
