SYMPTOMS
Multimedia Viewer generates multiple warning 1661 messages during the compilation of an application. Each warning message designates a file with the same name, but resides in a separate directory. The error message looks like this:

Warning 1661: Error loading baggage file:

C:\MVPUBKIT\TURTORIAL\COYOTE.AVI (line 44 of MYTHS.MVP)

For graphic files, running the Viewer application may result in this message:

The picture could not be displayed because it could not be found.

This message will be displayed in place of the intended image.



CAUSE
The Viewer compiler strips the directory path and retains only the baggage filename. The Viewer documentation suggests that these circumstances will generate an

Invalid Filename

message.



RESOLUTION
To avoid the warnings, rename the baggage files.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
