RE: FLASH: Flash: OT - Director -Opening another movie

[Rebecca Lovelace]

Aha, I think your problem is you should be going to a .dir file or a .dcr or

.dxr file, not an executable.


In my Director CDROM projects, I usually have a small movie that is the

executable file that just goes to the first .dir file.  Then the .dir files

can navigate back and forth amongst themselves.


Another tip is that if you don't provide an extension, it will look for all

the different types.  So if it is originally a .dir file, but then you

decide to make it a Shockwave (.dcr file), it will still find it.  For

example

	go to movie "movie2"

will look for a .dir, a .dcr, and a .dxr file called movie2 (I forget the

order it checks, if there are multiple files called movie2 in that

directory).


Hope this helps,


Rebecca

Hi!


Sorry for asking an off topic question. But this list as

everyone knows is very helpful & tolerant with all such

queries. I am kind of short on time & hoping that someone

might be able to help me out.


What I want to achieve is, if user clicks on a particular

button in director movie, I want to replace the current

movie with another one...I wrote the fol lingo for the

button:


on mouseUp

  go to movie "movie2.exe"

end


Now when I click on the button, a window pops up asking for

the location of the file. Is there a way to avoid this? Can

I have movie2 automatically opened? Both  movies are in the

same folder.

Thanks.

Renu
