Hi re: relative path...
I tried putting the file on the same level, and also putting it in a folder one level down and accessing it as foldername/filename however, it just completely ignored it. I also tried using c:/shockwavefiles/textfolder/filename type path but that didn't work either. The only way I could get it to work was by setting up PWS and calling it as an actual URL, but unfortunatley that won't be available on the systems we are developing it for. And they won't have net access either so putting the text on a server is out of the question too. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Aernoudt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 14, 2001 10:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: <lingo-l> getNetText, calling all aficionados! have you tried getNetText with a relative path? You can't do file stuff in shockwave 'cos of security considerations. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linsey Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 14, 2001 10:46 AM Subject: <lingo-l> getNetText, calling all aficionados! > Hi there everyone, > > I wonder if anyone can help me out? > > I am running a shockwave movie locally and i have tried various ways of > trying to bring in text from an external file (FileIO, ImportText, filename > etc - all of which I later realised, do not work!)
