Not sure how to solve this.

   put specialfolderpath("apps") & "/videos" into mainfolder

The above line does create the correct pathway to this folder in Applications. However, I then need to set the filename of a player to a video inside that folder.

   put mainfolder & "/test1.mov" into fname
   set the filename of player 1 to ("file:///" & fname)

I need to use the "file:///" syntax because this is being done through revweb in a browser (which seems to require this syntax... unlike a regular player in a standalone). Using the above, the filename in the player will NOT be correct, however, because the player requires the users HD name to be right after "file:///".

In other words:

This doesn't work for the filename of the player:

   file:///Applications/videos/test1.mov

This works:

   file:///Macintosh HD/Applications/videos/test1.mov

I'm not sure how to correct this. None of the OSX specialfolderpath returned values contain the HD portion of the pathway.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Is there a simple and reliable way to know where the primary Applications folder is under OSX? Is there a specialfolderpath() to it?

The help on specialfolderpath goes into great detail, and also points to this handy page:

http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/documentation/Carbon/Reference/Folder_Manager/Reference/reference.html

From that you can work out that this will give you the Applications path:

put specialfolderpath("apps")
