Hi again,
right it simply wasn't working for me so i've eventually stripped it down to
what i see is causing the problem.Can anyone offer an explanation for the
following.
My project stores a schedule in a text file, one of the parameters stored in
the file is a filename input by the user for this i am using the MUI xtra or
BuddyAPI, i have traced the problem i'm experiencing to have something to do
with this, so i created a simple movie 10 frame movie with the following
script
frame script on frame 2
on exitFrame me
set schedulefile =new(xtra "fileio")
createFile(schedulefile, "tempschedule.txt")
filestatus = status(schedulefile)
alert schedulefile.error(filestatus)
openFile(schedulefile, "tempschedule.txt", 0)
closeFile(schedulefile)
set schedulefile=0
set schedulefile =new(xtra "fileio")
openFile(schedulefile, "tempschedule.txt", 0)
delete(schedulefile)
closeFile(schedulefile)
set schedulefile=0
end
frame script frame 10
go the frame
a button on the stage has the following script attached
on mouseUp me
-- set aMuiObj = new (xtra "MUI")
-- set fileString = "Open this file"
-- set gresult = fileOpen(aMuiObj, fileString)
set gresult=""
set gresult = baGetFilename("select","","","",0,"Please select a
file",false,-1,-1)
-- set aMuiObj=0
alert string(gresult)
go(1)
end
I get similar results when i use the MUI xtra script above.
If i pick a file in a sub directory of the movie file i always get "file
already exists" when i can see it does not. The movie directory and other
paths seem to return OK but can anyone tell me why, its taken me ages to
track this down and i can see no logic in it what so ever.
