> Is there a way to pass parameters to projectors created with
> Director 8.5
a search of the archives returns the following posting, and numerous
more, from quite recently:
The commandLine
Director's the commandLine system property is designed to provide
access to
the entire string of text that was used to execute a runtime
projector.
put the commandLine
-- "projector.exe /s /t"
This returns the entire command line argument string passed to a
runtime
projector when using the Run... menu command in Windows.
USAGE
You can use the commandLine to dynamically specify which frame of a
movie
should be displayed at the start of playback.
For example, launch the Projector with the marker name as the first
command
line argument. Then use code similar to this in your movie:
on prepareMovie
startUpArguments = the commandLine
if startUpArguments <> EMPTY then
go frame startUpArguments.item[1]
end if
end prepareMovie
DRAG AND DROP
On Windows, you can drag and drop multiple files onto a Projector
icon.
Director will list each file's name in the commandLine property at
launch
time.
On Macintosh, although you can drag files with identical creator code
as
the Projector onto the Projector's icon to launch the projector, the
commandLine will contain an empty string.
