Hi.
In recent post; Robin Garrett explain how to apply a variable to each line of text in the list box so that the user will click on any of the lines and be transferred to another page.

viewtopic.php?t=646&highlight=aidan

My question: is it possible to make the action launch a file instead of "go to page" ?

And if it possible: can the program launch a file with the same name of the text in the list box? For example: when the end user chooses 1 from the list box; the program will launch the sound file "1.mp3".

Thanks.

Yes, it's possible to make the action launch a file instead of "go to page".

Change the script action on the listbox

GotoPage(selected)

into

var pathname = SYSTEM_PUBLICATION_DIR + "\\" + selected +".mp3"
LaunchFile(pathname)

(selected will be the text on the lines in the listbox).

The mp3-files (1.mp3, 2.mp3, 3.mp3) should be stored in the system publication directory.

You can use other folders by adding them after the\\, but you have to end with \\.

For example:

var pathname = SYSTEM_PUBLICATION_DIR + "\\mymusic\\" + selected +".mp3"

LaunchFile(pathname)

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
