baOpenFile, Bundles, and OS9

[Michael Gartner]

I'm creating a Mac/PC hybrid CD in which the Mac portion is also OSX/OS9
compatible. I used the techinque described in this technote
[url]http://www.macromedia.com/support/director/ts/documents/bundle_proj.htm[/url] .

Everything works fine except for 1 thing. I am opening a pdf file with
buddy api. baOpenFile works fine on the PC, and on OSX....but not on OS9.
It makes a call to acrobat but can't seem to open the pdf that is in the
bundle. It gives me an error basically saying that acrobat can't open the
file. I can unbundle the file and open it in acrobat...but not while it's
bundled up. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

-Mike

Pls check the path you are given.

PC and OS X "\" will work but for os 9 you have to use ":"

pls check this

Rk

Did this change in Director MX2K4? Because in Director MX the ":" was still
used as the path delimiter for Mac OS X (even though the OS itself uses a
forward slash...not a back slash).
