For the 3rd time:
Acrobat has nothing to do with DirectShow or MPEG playback at all. This is
straight from the docs for DirectMedia:
isDirectShowInstalled (member x)
Returns 1 (TRUE) or 0 (FALSE). Can be used to determine if DirectShow
(formerly ActiveMovie) is installed on the user's machine. You should use a
valid DirectMediaXtra cast member index to access this function.
Example:
isDirectShowInstalled(member 1)
if the result=0 then
alert("Please install DShow")
else
--nothing
end if
Did I miss any of your cross posts?
