fileXtra 4 -- detecting CD-ROM and opening file from disk

[Kmpg webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Does anyone know the lingo command for fileXtra 4 to search for a CD-ROM inserted in a Mac, and then locate and open a file from the CD-ROM. I figured out how to do it on the PC, but the same command does not seem to work for the Mac. Any ideas? I have included the script I used for the PC version below.

-Thanks!

on mouseDown
fxObj=xtra("FileXtra4").new()
put fxObj.fx_VolumeIsCDROM("CDdisk1")
put fxObj.fx_FileOpenDocument("NOTES.TXT")
-- 1
fxObj=0
end

On the Mac, the CD will have whatever volume name was chosen when it was
burned, so there is no need to search for it, like there is on the PC.
Just use the full path name to the file you need:

"My Excellent CD:folder:filename.txt"
