Byron, Try this... (This assumes that you pass a movie path without the drive name/letter, and the CD (for the Mac) is named "myCDROM")...
put getMoviePath("datafiles/movies/movie001.mov") into mPath function getMoviePath fileName if the platform = "MacOS" then if there is a file ("myCDROM/" & fileName) then return ("myCDROM/" & fileName) end if else if there is a file ("D:/" & fileName) then return ("D:/" & fileName) else if there is a file ("E:/" & fileName) then --just incase they mapped the CD drive to "E" return ("E:/" & fileName) end if end if -- you might put some kind of warning or error -- routine here. Probably don't want to continue -- if the movie was not found return false end getMoviePath There's probably a better way to do this, but it should work (I didn't test it!).
