I can use BuddyAPI (BAFindDrive) in a projector to determine if the correct
CD-ROM is in the drive; to then either open a specified movie from the
CD-ROM, or alternatively, alert the user that the (correct) CD-ROM is not
available. Can I do something similar with Shockwave? I would like to embed
a little Shockwave file (looking like a "disk" icon) into a web-page as a
link to external movies to be stored on a CD-ROM (delivered to students to
use in conjunction with the web-site). My idea is to make it so when a user
clicks on this icon, it determines the letter assigned to their CD-ROM
drive, finds and opens a movie on that drive, or alternatively reports that
the correct CD-ROM is not available if this is the case. Essentially, I
want to make Shockwave files that work something like Quicktime Reference
Movies, but for Director files.
The problem seems to be that I can set the bupapi xtra to be included in
the projector, but not to be downloaded if required. So it seems that using
bubapi is not the answer, and I need to try and find another way of doing this.
