Oops, yes sorry.

I'd posted a copy script there before, but obviously not put it in the FAQ, here you go:

--set the name of the file to copy
property fileName : "my file.doc"
--get the path to the containing folder
set myPath to (path to me as string)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":"
set the parentFolder to ¬
        ((text items 1 thru -2 of myPath) & "") as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
-- find the flash file
try
        set targetFile to alias (the parentFolder & fileName)
on error
        --ie if there's no file here by this name, it will quit.
        return quit
end try
tell application "Finder"
        move file targetFile to desktop
        --If it's a read only volume (like a cd), move will actually copy
end tell

Thanks Sam

Looks like you are opening the file

tell application "Finder"
        open file targetFile
end tell

Is there an equivalent to just copy / save the file to the users hard drive?

Thanks

Paul

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Save file from Mac / Pc Projector on CDROM to
Harddrive


I wrote an applescript a few years back that does this on Mac, on PC
you'll need to use something like a batch script or one of those
proxy exes you can call with fscommand.

(There are lots of free ones which will do just that, rather than
something bigger (and more expensive) like Zinc).

I need to include a button in a cdrom projector that when clicked

a particular file from the CDROM to the users hard drive with a
dialogue box
asking them where to save it to.

Any suggestions?

It must work on PC and MAC

Thanks

Paul
