I've a DXR (protected) director file.
I understand that a DXR file should be locked and prevented from changes. But I really need to modify the contents of this file by loading it again as a DIR file. I've grab this script somewhere which will perform the above requirements. However this script contains some error.
SCRIPT:
==========================
Here is the Lingo script that should be put in frame one of a projector:
on exitframe
set dxrFile=fileio(mnew,"?read
if objectp(dxrFile) then
set newpath=dxrFile(mfilename)
dxrFile(mdispose)
go frame 1 of movie dxrFile -- must be running from a projector
saveMovie "unDXR.dir"
end if
end
This is supposed to give you a normal director file called "unDXR.dir" with
empty script castmembers.
==========================
Can someone provide me a solution to this question or debug the script so that it will work.
Thanks a lot!

OK, that is the wierdest thing I've ever seen! I'm not sure if I like or dislike it being a director programmer myself. It basically means that the graphics and sprite layout can be ripped off from a dxr file but not the code!?
Oh well. I guess I can fix your code for you... I'm not sure what or why all that code you posted is for but these two lines of code worked for me in Director 7:
on exitframe
go frame 1 of movie "game.dir" -- must be running from a projector
saveMovie "unDXR.dir"
end
Just change the game.dir string to be the name of the dxr file. So if your dxr file is called: "myfile.dxr" change the line to:
go frame 1 of movie "myfile.dir" -- must be running from a projector
Then the string given to saveMovie is simply the name you want the saved file to be.
