Hi the list!
i need a trick
......seems have troubles with alias folders
and the filename of member
I'm basically navigating a series of 3 concentric folders
using**********getNthFileNameInFolder**********
to achieve a list of files and url
and play a movie file
the url for the third folder is achieved thru the previous
getNthFileNameInFolder function,and added to a list , the filenames
into another one
so an example path looks like:
set the_path =
the moviepath & "getNthFileNameInFolder_1stFolder:The_file_i_want_of.mov"
ALL OK FOR files into 1st and 2nd folder,
-----------------------------------------
i do a member("quicktimemember").filename = the_path and it works
the last (more deep) is an ****alias****
of a far folders on the desktop
so choosing the last file found in last folder (the alias)
i play so
set the_path =
the moviepath & "getNthFileNameInFolder_1stFolder:
getNthFileNameInFolder_2ndFolder:
getNthFileNameInFolder_3rdFolder: The_file_i_want_of.mov"
member("quicktimemember").filename = the_path
doesn't works..
the filename of member seems rejected and doesn't
as you know the cast member reject a wrong url/path
so i can only think another way to know thw ***REAL***
path of the file into the deep alias folder....
i thinked about a recursive fileIO call but at first...
seems anyway a big amount of
work for disks in case the folders contain alot of file/folders...
So the silly question...there a more reliable way to find an
automatic deep url list including the REAL path for alias ?
Someone may have already found this answer without use of xpensive
xtras or loose-time routines..
Thanks for read and the help
