Thanks in advance.
you can't use the "@" identifier for the
moviepath with xtras. that's a director lingo
only identifier for the moviepath.
with most xtras (except fileio, which is
maintained by macr to my knowledge) you must use
the moviepath and compose relative paths yourself.
but it is not that hard to do the same with some lingo like this:
on mTranslateRelativePath aPath
mp = the moviepath
delim = the last char of mp
delimList = ["\", "/", ":"]
delimList.deleteOne(delim)
repeat with thisDelim in delimList
offs = offset(thisDelim, aPath)
repeat while offs > 0
put delim into char offs of aPath
offs = offset(thisDelim, aPath)
end repeat
end repeat
if char 1 of aPath = "@" then delete char 1 of aPath
if char 2 of aPath = delim then
delete char 1 of aPath
olddelim = the itemdelimiter
the itemdelimiter = delim
delete the last item of mp
repeat while char 1 of aPath = delim
delete char 1 of aPath
delete the last item of mp
end repeat
put delim after mp
end if
if char 1 of aPath = delim then delete char 1 of aPath
return mp & aPath
