detect settings

[Guest_imported]

hi guys!
i have a question
how do i make my projector detect the settings of the
system its playing and give an alert if the sttings are not
appropriate
like its made for 32 bit colour and someone tries playing it on a 16 bit pc
so it should warn the player that it will not play properly on his current seetings and ask him to cahnge them
and i should be able to provide aan alterantive version made for 16 bit
how to do it?
will be greatly appreciated!
love to all
long llive director and macromedia!

to check current screen depth the command is "the colordepth". It will return one of the following 1,2,4,8,16,32

So all you do is
if the colordepth <> 32 then
alert &quot;Your color depth is too low, this might not look as good as it could.&quot;
end if

Don't think you really need a 16 and 32 bit version, just tell them it will look better on 32 bit. But yes, you could have a stub file that does the check then sends them to the correct bit depth files.
