rather than trying to make the movies part of the collective, you should just manually put the files in the standalone app package: ctl-click on the application icon, select "Show package contents", open "Contents/MacOS" folder, and put the movies in there.

when you change to max 4.6, you can simply just put the movies in the same folder as the application, without having to add them to the package (if you don't want to).

Thanks for that Idea

I have put the movie and picture files dierectly into the folder specified but it still cant find them, Maybe its trying to find them in the wrong place?

Would anyone be able to help me on this?

This is just getting very confusing now

It seesm that the collective application can find the files, it just cant load them.

What would cause this?

Is it something to do with what version of jitter im using?

the computer is running jitter 1.121 (acording to our IT person) maxmsp 4.5.5 Mac OSX

well, i can't say exactly why you are having this problem...it worked for me! however, you can be explicit about it, if you need to, and provide an absolute path. becuase you are in 4.5, standalones report the application path in an overly precise manner, so they require some regexp. here's an example of how to handle this.
