That's sad, but true...


Getting a bit off-topic:

One of the few features i liked in Director was to be able to protect
(forgotten the correct term) files before creating a standalone.
(If you were not putting all the files into the standalone...)

This way these files could ONLY be played back by the projector
(the Director standalone engien).

They could NEITHER be opened NOR changed in the IDE anymore...

(But i have no idea if this is easy/hard to implement... I think the 
latter one ;-)
