Problems opening HTML documents on Mac

[Hermann Giovanni Brandi Salinas]

Hi list!

I'm using DirectOS Xtra to find applications on both platforms. The Xtra is
working fine locating the applications but when I'm trying to open an HTML
document on a Macintosh simply doesn't open the document. The route
recognized by Director is this:

"La Mac:Proyecto:Archivos HTML:index.html"

but the navigators use this sintax:

"file:///La%20Mac/Proyecto/Archivos%20HTML/index.html"

What I've found out is that when I'm locating the files Netscape and
Explorer doesn't understand the ":" symbols so I've made this handler to
correct the problem:

on cambiaFormatoDeLigas
  global gRutasArchivosHtml, gRutaArchivosHtm, contador

  contador = the number of chars in gRutasArchivosHtml

  repeat with i= 1 to contador
    contenedor = char i of gRutasArchivosHTML
    if contenedor = SPACE then
      put "%" into char i to i of gRutasArchivosHTML
      put "2" after char i to i of gRutasArchivosHTML
      put "0" after char i + 1 to i + 1 of gRutasArchivosHTML
      contador = contador + 3
    end if
    if contenedor = ":" then
      put "/" into char i to i of gRutasArchivosHTML
    end if
  end repeat
end


and I'm using the

on mouseUp
open gRtuasArchivosHTML with aplicacionHTML
end

but I didn't have any result so I thought that maybe it was missing the
file:/// so I modified the code to correct the problem:

on cambiaFormatoDeLigas
  global gRutasArchivosHtml, gRutaArchivosHtm, contador

  put "f" before char 1 of gRutasArchivosHTML
  put "i" after char 1 of gRutasArchivosHTML
  put "l" after char 2 of gRutasArchivosHTML
  put "e" after char 3 of gRutasArchivosHTML
  put "/" after char 4 of gRutasArchivosHTML
  put "/" after char 5 of gRutasArchivosHTML
  put "/" after char 6 of gRutasArchivosHTML

  contador = the number of chars in gRutasArchivosHtml

  repeat with i=6 to contador
    contenedor = char i of gRutasArchivosHTML
    if contenedor = SPACE then
      put "%" into char i to i of gRutasArchivosHTML
      put "2" after char i to i of gRutasArchivosHTML
      put "0" after char i + 1 to i + 1 of gRutasArchivosHTML
      contador = contador + 3
    end if
    if contenedor = ":" then
      put "/" into char i to i of gRutasArchivosHTML
    end if
  end repeat
end

but it doesn't work either. Do you know what am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance!
