Hi...
I am doing a project with Autoplay Media Studio, and i want to move the project folder (the one where everything is placed) to another location without interfering with every script and action that has already been done in the project.
I mean if Autoplay is set to look for certain file in some directory i'm afraid that if i happen to move that folder it all crashes and explode.
Thanks in advance and sorry for any mistake as i`m a foreign speaker...
see you

You can copy the whole project folder from one location to another without any problems as far as I know. I do it regularly when I bring stuff home to work on. I use a memory stick to copy between my computer at work and my laptop at home.
You could export the project to an .apz (the same as you see posted in the forum) and that will contain everything in the project.
All the references within the project are relative to the project folder unless you hard code something special in which case that reference would still remain valid anyway as long as you use absolute addressing.
Why not just make a copy and then try it out in it's new location, you still have the original in place for your peace of mind.
