(I'm working on a Mac so I'll stop here)
I'm trying to show only Quicktime movies in the dialog:
foo = new(xtra "fileio")
setfilterMask (foo, "MooV")
proposedFilename = displayOpen(foo)
openfile(foo, proposedFilename, 0)
put "proposedFilename",proposedFilename, getfinderinfo(foo)
this shows everything in the directory and I get this in the message window:
-- "proposedFilename" "Projects:Extracurricular:cinepak2x.MOV" "MooV TVOD"
when I use:
setfilterMask (foo, "MooV TVOD")
or setFilterMask (foo, "TEXT")
it shows everything in the directory.
when I use:
setfilterMask (foo, "MOOV")
or setFilterMask (foo, "ttxt")
it shows only the subdirectories in the directory, no files at all.
I'm clearly doing something wrong here but I have no idea where else to
look for an answer, I tried DOUG, updateStage, the Macromedia site,
Director help, the manuals, Director Demystified, another third party
book... no luck
