so ive built a costumer a simple app
that reads all the files in a library

one file is a "###.png"
and the other is a "###.mp4"

the png represents a picture from the next clip
in game she can select a picture , touch it and the video will present itself on screen.

i use a simple "movies" folder to hold all the clips and associated images.

so the program acts first

it reads how many files are in the movies folder
then it divide that number into 2 so its "numofvideos/2" since there is one png and one mp4

then it loads all the png files into integer holders.
then when the app is turned on it randomly select 6 pngs from the entire movies folder.

when you click an image it will open the associated movie.

i have checked it on 2 diffrent pcs and it works just fine and i am able to add movies and pngs accordignly and the app will do the rest.

but when i transfared it to her , in game sometimes the pngs showes up and sometimes it looks as if it didnot find the images at all so you see the deafult red cross where a sprite has been built but the image didnt load up.

i am thinking of 2 errors that can make this
1st. her windows 8.1 has a lot of restrictions to since she have some small kids she dosent want them to have full control.. so i ran it with admin rights (through Team Viewer) but again it dosent work.
2nd. maybe it is because her windows is in Hebrew and it might mess with the file read/write system that agk posses. i honestly dont know what to do .


please help.

do you run your app on Mobile device?

if answer is yes:

do you check that your images name are lowercase? and them are lowercase in your code?

I was going to ask that, but then thought that if the program is reading the contents of the folder to assess how many files there are, then it will also be grabbing the file-names dynamically.

@haliop_New any chance you could post some code for us to look at?

Case sensitivity on Android (and sometimes iOS) devices is a long known thing to be careful of.

Glad that you found the fix.

Cheers,
