Hi list...
I'm opening PDFs from a CD using baOpenFile. Simple enough, but
occasionally, the file isn't found, returning error code 2. I *suspect*
it's because the CD has spun down, as it seems to happen only once per
running the CD (according to the tester) and then PDFs open without
error.
I was thinking that a solution would be to put before baOpenFile a
baFindDrive command, forcing the disc to spin prior to opening the PDF.
Might this be an appropriate solution? Below is my code.
Thanks as always,

================================
on mOpenDoc(me) -- open correct PDF from "documents" folder
-- *** Spin CD here? ***
-- baFindDrive(_movie.path.char[1], pData.pDocQueue) -- (drive
letter, file name)
-- *********************
theFile = string( _movie.path & "documents" & pData.pDelim &
pData.pDocQueue) -- build path to PDF
theResult = baOpenFile(theFile, "Normal")
if (theResult < 32) then
put theResult -- occasionally puts 2.
end if
end
