Slava,
if you are letting users load assets that are in external castLibs the
way to do this is to be sure, even on the Mac, to have a file
extension. then only display files of a certain type. I think you can
do this on the Mac using FileIO, I know you can on the PC.
if they have renamed other files with a C*T extension, well we can't
help stupidity. <grin> Director will not load it tho & will throw an
error.
