I know there is a command to display a directory in OPUS , BUT i want it shown in a display box in my pub . I have a bunch of small wav's and i would like it if the client could select the one he wants to watch and drag it to a video box/area and click play and it does its business...


I can't seem to get my head around making this work......


Is it as easy as it sounds LOL

I tried build different types of txt/video boxes or even doc view and telling it to display a directory , but then i get that stupid microsoft generic window and it only allows 1 file to be listed......

Thanks in Advance

Here is what I did:

Create a trigger, in my case, left mouse click on a button.
First Action = File Browse (it's under File Management actions). You set your file types to be a specific type or types. Store the results to a variable name you create.
Second Action = Play Sound with <VARIABLENAME> as the sound to play.

That's all there is to it.

I did as you said and when i go to publish the PUB i get the ERRORS " Cant play <MP3_1> " which is my variable name.......

Anyway you could post your pub as a 5.5 version?

So you don't get that error in 5.5 ????

Al,

I did indeed get the error as you got. To get around it, I added the scripting code from the MP3 thread.

So I had the File Browse action and then followed it up with a script action containing:
var mySound = OpenSound(VARIABLENAME)
mySound.Play()

For videos I had 3 actions. Did not try anything else, but these three actions seemed to work:
File Browse
Show Video Object
Play Video Object

I did not have the video object set to play automatically, so that is why I had the Show and Play actions in there.
