There is no need to use BuddiApi to check which version of quicktime there
is installed....
The "QuicktimeSupport" xtra that comes with director 7 has a function
"quickTimeVersion" that returns the version number
-- message box
put quickTimeVersion()
-- 4.1600
so your startmove script could look something like this
on startMovie
-- this script checks if quicktime needs to be installed
-- alerts the user
-- runs the installer
-- and quits the projector
if quickTimeVersion() < 3.0 then
alert "You will need to install quicktime."
open (the applicationPath & "install\qt40install.exe")
halt
end if
end
-> you will need to put the exact path to the install .exe file after the
open command (right now its just a 'dummy' path from the top of my head)....
Hope it helps,
