Subject: <lingo-l> Shockwave finding movies on CD-ROM


> I can use BuddyAPI (BAFindDrive) in a projector to determine if the
correct
> CD-ROM is in the drive; to then either open a specified movie from the
> CD-ROM, or alternatively, alert the user that the (correct) CD-ROM is not
> available. Can I do something similar with Shockwave? I would like to
embed
> a little Shockwave file (looking like a "disk" icon) into a web-page as a
> link to external movies to be stored on a CD-ROM (delivered to students to
> use in conjunction with the web-site). My idea is to make it so when a
user
> clicks on this icon, it determines the letter assigned to their CD-ROM
> drive, finds and opens a movie on that drive, or alternatively reports
that
> the correct CD-ROM is not available if this is the case.  Essentially, I
> want to make Shockwave files that work something like Quicktime Reference
> Movies, but for Director files.
>
> The problem seems to be that I can set the bupapi xtra to be included in
> the projector, but not to be downloaded if required. So it seems that
using
> bubapi is not the answer, and I need to try and find another way of doing
this.
