cd-rom detect drive letter.....PLEASE HELP

[jesterx webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi all,

I am on windows. I have an interactive cd with menu buttons at the start. Pretty simple all I want to do is detect what letter the cd drive is when the user loads it on their cd drive, because on other windows machines the cd drive is not always D:\

Then when I find this letter how do I open up one of the folders contained on the CD in a window (after user pushes a button) . Is it something like open "?:\myfiles " PLEASE HELP!!!

It's easy to determine the Drive letter the director file is running
from, it's the first character of the pathname.

To find the CD when running off a hard drive, you can one of several
xtras, including I think, bussyAPI and FileXtra4, both are free to use
for the first few functions used.

Further to this, what jesterX may be looking for is:

the moviePath

eg.
open the moviePath

should (on windows) open an explorer window at that address.... therefore
doesn't matter where the director file is, it should open up the current
folder.
