Default Re: Newbie Publishing Project

Your main file should be packaged as an .exe (with runtime).

The other files should be packaged as .a7r files (without runtime).

Your main file should use the JumpFileReturn function to launch the
other files. Keep them all in the same directory for ease.

There should be just one Xtras folder at the root of the project
directory which contains all the Xtras each file requires.

For movies, you'll need the related .xmo files which should not be
placed in the Xtras folder but at the root of the project directory.

Otherwise, keep the structure of the other files/directories the same,
as each piece expects. Be sure links to external media are using
relative paths, not absolute ones.
