Hi Andrea,
This is easy on Windows using Buddy API's baCommandArgs() function
(returns the command line as a string). There's also an undocumented
movie property -- "the commandLine" -- that should return the same
value.
The Macintosh OS doesn't use command lines, so passing arguments to a
projector on startup is more difficult.
Right now I'm looking for a solution to that problem myself; I'd be
interested in hearing how other people have done it (using and Xtra?
Applescript?).
HTH,
Tim
