Final output dir

Hey all, couple more new user questions.

I have put together a little project and am loving the program. Some major potential here for what I am looking to do.

Anyway, my project has several WAV files in it, graphics, and an AVI clip. When I tell it to "compile" everything, it creates a directory called "data". Should I move all other files there prior to burning to CD-ROM?

Also, I found and installed a couple of nice TTF fonts that I like. I used them in the project. Do the fonts have to be installed on the individual machines running the CD-ROM or is the program capable of displaying them as a part of the compilation process?

Thanks much for the help. The dumb questions will stop soon! http://www.indigorose.com/ubb/images/icons/wink.gif

The Wav, graphic, AVI and font files will automatically be placed into the DATA folder and renamed according to how the program needs them named (i.e. background images are named *.bah, *.bal, *.brh and *.brl; AVI's are named *.dav; images are named *.dah and *.dal; fonts are *.ttf; and wav's and other sound files are *.daw).

While I'm thinking about it, I was wondering if anyone knows why the program creates 2 copies of the image files in the DATA folder? One is *.??H and the other is *.??L, yet they're the exact same image. And no, one is not the highlight copy. There is 2 copies of the highlight, and 2 copies of the regular. Anyone?

They aren't the same. One is an 8-bit image, the other is a 24-bit (true color) image.

Hmm, ok. Well, thank you.
