Thanks for the previous responses.. I've got that installer thing working
now....
But now I am yet again stuck with another. I have director checking for
version of quicktime and installing quicktime rather ... firing up the
application if the version is say less than three or doesn't exist.
My actual problem lies when quicktime is installing.... Director for some
reason
1) can't recognise quicktime version whilst the director is running.. hence
I have to fool it by opening up my application again.. i.e directorapp.exe
... before it recognises the quicktimeVersion () .
... basically on one frame ...
global gqVersion
on beginsprite me
if gqVersion <= 3 then
open the moviePath & "\quicktime\quicktimeInstaller.exe"
else
go to frame "options"
end if
end
on exitFrame
if gqVersion <= 3 then
go to frame "idle"
else
go to frame "options"
end if
end
-------- the other frame "idle" just simply sits there until the user's
cursor rollsover it then basically the same application runs over again ..
see on beginsprite ...stuff..
This worked fine on my machine and other faster machines... but when I ran
it on slower machines.. .. series of quicktime.exe apps popped up!.... I can
understand why it's doing it... but I just really want
1) the quicktime app to load once if director detects the condition
2) upon completion of the quicktime installer.or when the user returns to
Director then recognises this and does something else. I.e. go back to
quicktime installer or something else...
