Newbie Question - Player volume
Title: Newbie Question - Player volume Hi all I'm still fiddling around trying to learn MC. This time I've created a little movie player consisting of a player and two buttons. One button allows you to select a different movie file to be viewed, and the other simply closes the stack. I'd like to add a Mute button that sets the volume at which the movie will play to minimum. I don't seem to be able to find the relevant property. I've checked the Player properties and the videoClip properties, looking for volume, sound or audio, but I can't find anything. Is there such a property? TIA Tim
NT question launching programs
Title: Newbie Question - Player volume I've solve all the program launching problems I had (on windows). But on Windows NT when I launch a program using the shell command, sometimes Metacard is stuck waiting until I close that program - which is not very handy... Im using cmd.exe already... Does anyone know a work around? Thanks Xavier

Question: Can you do this with the MC "launch" or some other command/function? That *would* be nice. Seems to me I did something similar once from MC (on Win32) by using "launch", but I wasn't typing stuff into the app - I was passing a filename to it as part of the "launch" command. I was controlling RealPlayer at the time. I'll see if I can locate that stack. If its a text based application, you can do this by reading and writing to open process. It will often also be possible to do this with graphical applications using the DDE support in the Externals Collection.

Someone told me that I had to use the directory global to set up the path to the directory of the application (because even the full path didn't work) and since then I've managed a consistent application launching on WinX (any windows: 98 or NT or 2K). Open Process does NOT work consistently on WinNT as far as I've tried (and I've tried A LOT to find the consistencies of which I found none). The directory didn't seem to improve things either. Last but not least, I need to launch these commands with parameters as in DOS, so Open Process will not help... So when one command works, why does the shell command stay stuck on receiving a message if there is none? Maybe cmd.exe doesn't return anything and it hangs waiting... Maybe my question should be: Is there a way to tell the shell command that it's just a one way call?
