You're right, they don't. I just wanted to show the two operations to strip the end file name off in the new Lingo and JS syntax for MX'04, I figured it was an easy exercise for the user to add the path delimiter at the end if needed/desired. For completeness please add these to the end of my previous lines of code: -- Lingo tStr = tStr&"\" // JS syntax tStr += "\\"; Cheers, Tom Higgins Product Specialist - Director Team Macromedia Director MX 2004 - NOW SHIPPING!
