You're running from the CD? Then just get the moviePath, and add whatever
you need to complete the path to the html file. For example, the html file
is two directories down from the movie that links to it:
startPath = the moviePath
delim = (startPath).char(the number of chars in startPath)
myHtmlPath = startPath & "directory1" & delim & "directory2" & delim &
"myHtmlFile.htm"
If you were running from the hard drive, and needed to find the CD drive,
then filextra or buddy API comes into play. For file xtra, you would use a
combination of drivesToList() and DriveIsCDROM() to find the CD drive. To
make sure that's it's your CD (some users have multiple CD drives), you
would then check that drive for the existence of one of your files.
