While what you desire COULD be done with Lingo, it is far easier & faster to
do using an Xtra designed for that purpose. The MasterApp Xtra contains a
function specifically designed for that purpose named
mappLocateExecutable()
It returns the path to the executable registered to handle the document at
the file path specified. MasterApp gives you broad control over other
applications from your Director presentation. The most common application
for MasterApp is building connectivity between your Director piece and
various Web browsers and Web pages. However, MasterApp is much more powerful
than this basic use, including dozens of methods for launching, monitoring
and controlling external applications.
Price: $299.00
Platforms: 32-bit Windows, Win 3.1, Mac
Director versions supported: Director 4,5,6,7,8
Author: Glenn Picher
MasterApp is a commercial Xtra sold by UpdateStage. You find out more
