Jacqueline,
I routinely use dynamic path allocation (i.e., relative to the
stack). For example, to set the path to the folder "data" in the same
folder as the stack, I routinely use (in Metacard/RR):
--
-- Get/Set Paths
--
put the filename of this stack into thePath
set the itemdelimiter to "/"
delete the last item of thePath
put thePath&"/data/" into datapath
But, although this approach works with Metacard and RR, it doesn't work
with DreamCard (at least, not DreamCard Player); I believe the archives
of this list document this fact.
Seems to work here okay. I just made a test stack and copied your script
into it, with this addtion at the end:
put datapath into fld 1
That way I could see what path was constructed. Wen I dropped the stack
onto DC Player and executed the script, I got the right path.
Maybe what you are experiencing is the inability of DC Player to
read/write files when secure mode is turned on (which is the default
setting in Player.) Even though the path is correct, no files can be
read from or written to until that setting is turned off. Could that be
what is happening?
You can turn off secureMode by launching Player and clicking the Rev
icon at the upper right of the window. Then quit and relaunch, and you
should be able to read/write to files. However, this doesn't help anyone
you may send your stacks to -- until they perform the same action on
their copy of Player.

will fail to locate them if you use dynamic path allocation.
I haven't had any trouble so far...how are they different? Is there
something I should be watching for?
