sketch's data directory
Feb 26th, 2008, 5:23pm  
Hey Dudes.

This may sound like a dumb question but Im trying to read a video using read() and I'm not sure about where to place the actual video file.
manual says "movies must be located in the sketch's data directory"
and my error log says "The file "movie.mov" is missing or inaccessible, make sure the URL is valid or that the file has been added to your sketch and is readable.
I tried to put the file in the same directory where my pde file is but it didnt work...
any ideas?
thanks

create a directory called 'data' in the directory holding your pde. put the movie in there. (there's a menu option that does this for you, i think. yes, Sketch - Add File (in v0125 anyway))

alternatively, you can *usually* specify a full path to files in open()
