Ok I have a bigger problem. What i am trying is i have more than 100 mpeg
clips and there are on separate cd-roms. My projector will be copied to the
hard drive and from there i will be calling Mpegfiles. The problem is i am
trying to find which cd is in the drive and then go on from there. The main
problem is it detects the first cd and then the second cd but it does not
play the clip from the 2nd movie. This is i think the problem with
DirectMedia Xtra since it checks for Directmedia cast before it executes
lingo. How to avoid it??
Here is the code that i am using.. the problem is it wont play the clip when
a 2nd cd is installed.
I really really appreciate any help on this,....Kind of desperate
Ravi
on beginSprite me
passed = false
fileXtraObj = new (xtra "filextra3")
set gdrives = fileXtraObj.fx_VolumesToList ()
repeat while passed = false
repeat with x = 1 to gdrives.count
gtheLabel = baDiskInfo( gdrives[x].char[1] , "name" )
put gtheLabel
if gtheLabel = cdLab then
passed = true
append (the searchPaths, gtheLabel)
exit
end if
end repeat
Answer = baMsgBox( alertMessage, "Where is.CD Labelled MockS1.." ,
"OKCancel", "Exclamation" , 1 )
if answer <> "OK" then
case whatDo of
#quit :
if the environment.runmode = "Author" then
halt
else
quit
end if
#goMarker :
go whatMarker
end case
end if
next repeat
end repeat
fileXtraObj = 0
end
