Hi all, 

I'm making a jukebox but I can't seem to get the command line working to
open Winamp AND play a specified song. 

The code is (using the free FileXtra3 for Director 8): 

put temp.fx_FileRunApp("c:\program files\winamp\winamp.exe c:\program
files\winamp\demo.mp3") 

but it just opens Winamp with the Open Dialogue box opened too. HELP! 

<<ADDED>> Essentially I'm just wondering if anyone knows why the MP3 file
passed to the EXE isn't being opened. I have looked around and it seems that
you should just need to pass the path of the file to be opened as a
parameter after the EXE path to open it. 

<<ADDED AGAIN>> I've tried the same open dialogue with winword.exe and a
.txt file and it doesn't open that either but gives filenot found/access
denied errors. I also know it isn't the 'put' command beforehand - this is
really starting to bug me. P.S. if this comes through as HTML I am really
sorry - we are on Webmail at the moment while we change servers and it
sucks!
