Hi askia!
I�m a biginner too and i hope i understood your question right.
I also had to find out the way to activate an exe file
from a director movie and found this code. Try it out! It worked for me.
The exe file has to be in the same path than your director movie.
on mouseUp me
set sFileStart = "exe_file name ??"
set sPath = the moviePath
set nFile = 1
repeat while TRUE
set sFile = getNthFileNameInFolder(the moviePath, nFile)
if(sFile = EMPTY) then exit repeat
if(sFile starts sFileStart) then
open sFile
exit repeat
end if
set nFile = nFile + 1
end repeat
end
on exitFrame me
go the frame
end
I hope it will work for you too!
