I posted this a while ago on the 'dev' forum... got no response. Apologies for multiple postings, but I was just wondering if anyone regularly checking this page might be able to solve my problem?

I'm trying to give my standalone its own custom splash page, instead of the standard max /msp image on opening. I read the tutorial, but I've still be unable to get it to work.

I was just wondering if someone could please help, maybe give an example of the script types into the standalone builder, including an example filepath...

the dev list is for people developping Max/MSP external in C/C++, etc. 

Your question has been answered numerous times on the forum, which may 

explain why nobody answered (that's the reason why I didn't so far).

Check Max' tutorial&topics manual, read the chapter about Collectives. 

See especially the "Customizing standalone" part. (I think the doc 

changed since 4.6, but you shoud find what you're after).

You're on the right list now.

hi, thanks very much, I was having some problems with where to actually put the 'applsplash ' script, as the manual is a little unclear. I've managed to get my image come up on the application opening, however he standalond still comes up with the max / jitter runtime splash windows on top. Is there a way to supress these?

Yeah, I'd checked the manual... just a little unsure of what to do still.

hey... I'm really sorry, but I'm just having no success with this one. I practically know the 'customing your standalone' section of the max tutorials word for word, and I've followed what it is sayiong, but It just doesn't seem to work. At the moment, In the standalone inspector I have tryed typing:

applsplash "Macintosh HD:/Users/tomhaig/Desktop/contour/splash.pct"

on a new line. Is anything noticably wrong with this script?

if you could help out, you may well prevent a head / frying pan interface.

create a text file called "jitter-config.txt" and include that in 

your collective/standalone. Inside the textfile type:

and any other jitter options, like for instance:
