Hi,
I've tried to use @, but I couldn't understand it's function exactly, since it wont work as I wanted. If not ask to much, can you send me some example in how to use it??
thank's
If your movie/projector may run either under Windowas or on a Mac, you can never be sure whether the path is going to be separated by \ or by :
One way to get around this is to determine the current path separator:
locPatSep = the last char of the moviePath
MyPathFile = the moviePath & "graphics" & locPathSep & "bimbo.tif"
You can use this when linking an extrernal cast member, for example, or when using FileIO.
The above two lines will work on both the Mac and Windows machines.
But another way to achieve the same thing is with this one line:
MyPathFile = "@/graphics/bimbo.tif"
The above line will work both under Mac OS and Windows. You can use this when linking an extrernal cast member, for example--but not when using FileIO.
You can also use @ to refer to a folder above the movie folder , or at the same level in a different branch of the tree by using multiple slashes more or less the way you use ..\..\graphics in DOS, e.g. "@//graphics/myfile.jpg." Lingo Dictionary has better examples, I'm sure.
