What is a stub projector and why should I use one?
A stub projector is a projector (Director made self executable) that simply calls an external Director movie (DIR or DXR). The external movies contain all the content and thereby simplifies development. The stub movie sets up the Stage size, location, background colour and contains a behavior in the first frame opening the first movie similar to: on exitFrame go to movie “FirstMovieName” end The resulting stub projector will be small in file size so will start quicker. A projector can open DIR files or DXR files (protected movies). An application made of many small files rather than few large ones is better for memory management. A stub projector is also useful for making cross platform CDs where the data is shared but only need the front end projector is specific for each OS. Stubs are the most efficient way to start any Director presentation. See my Creating a Stub Projector Tutorial for detailed information.
