I'm trying to create a text file that will be the prefs file for a
standalone. I'm running this script on a development stack under
rev 2.6 on Mac OS X 10.4.x and getting nothing back:
put the filename of this stack into thePath
thePath stays empty after that runs.
Is "this stack" the mainStack or a sub-stack? A sub-stack does not
have a file path.
This line will always work:
get the filename of stack (the mainStack of this stack)
My plan was to take this absolute path, replace the name of the
stack with the name of my prefs file, and then store the prefs file
in the same directory as the stack so that under all platforms it
would be stored in a known location. This script above is almost
exactly taken word for word from the example in the documentation
shown below.
put the filename of stack "My Main" into thePath
1. Why isn't this working?
2. Does anyone have a sample script for putting a prefs file in a
known location that does work that I could use?
3. Will I need to watch out for a path that is inside the package
contents for the standalone (if I get that far in my coding)?
Have a look at my recent article in revJournal about saving data:
<http://www.revjournal.com/tutorials/saving_data_in_revolution.html>
I recommend using the specialFolderPath("Preferences") to store your
prefs file, but if you use the fileName method above to locate your
stack file, in an OS X bundle, you will get the path to the Contents/
MacOS folder inside the bundle. This can be a problem if the user
doesn't have admin privileges and can't write to the Applications
folder.
HTH,
