Go download the Buddy API xtra, then type
--
global buddy
on startMovie
buddy = xtra("budapi").new()
put baDiskList()
end
--
You will get a list of the available drives. On Windows you can ask
for the type of a drive using baDiskInfo("drivename", "type").
On the Mac I think you could use baDiskInfo("drivename", "free") to
look for a disk with very few free bytes. That one should be the CD,
but of course there's going to be a problem if you have a diskette
inserted.
When browsing the files you can use baFileList("driveName", "*.jpg")
(Win) or baFileList("driveName", "jpeg") (Mac) for finding the files
in a directory and baFolderList for getting the folders.
Or use Director's internal getNthFilenameInFolder() function.
