    Default fileXtra4

    The following line of code doesn't open a dialog, it just loads an empty
    string as a result of the operation. Any clues why?

    cueFileName is a string with a valid value

    cueSaveAsFileName = fileXtra.fx_FileSaveAsDialog (the moviePath &
    "cuePoints", cueFileName, "*.txt", TRUE)

    cueSaveAsFileName is always "" and a dialog is not opened.

    Hi,
    I just tested it, everything seems ok, as long as you set properly
    "FileXtra" variable (imho, i'd use an other name, to avoid misunderstanding)

    .....
    FxObj = xtra("FileXtra4").new()
    .....
    cueSaveAsFileName = FxObj .fx_FileSaveAsDialog (the moviePath &"cuePoints",
    cueFileName, "*.txt", TRUE)

    I' m using wXP & DirMX

    Thanks. Very strange. I guess I'll try another name but other than it's
    being easier to understand it certainly shouldn't give me a problem.

    you're right, I said that just to say something ;o) since your code is ok
    :o/
    I guess you tried alerts just before calling FileSaveAsDialog to check your
    variables contents, and check that lingo does reach that point, didn't you ?

    Yes, usually I use the debugger and as it passes that line of code the
    variable = ""

    What's more bazzaar is that it works when put in the message window. I just
    replace the variable with hard coded text in the call and it opens the box.

    I figured it out. The field that is supposed to contain a file name to use
    for saving actually was: "file name:"

    fileXtra4 didn't like the colon and of course I didn't look at the error
    code. Now it works fine.

    Default filextra4

    Hi All,

    I'm struggling with exporting a Mac projector from MX 2004 10.1 on windows.

    I've trawled the net and worked out what to change in the configuration
    directory etc.., but I need two files that are made by splitting FileXtra4's
    Mac Xtra file using this program:

    [url]http://www.updatestage.com/xtras/downloads/binaryio/splitMacXtra.sit[/url]

    problem is, it only works on a Mac

    As a lot of people use FileXtra4, I thought maybe someone has already split
    the xtra and has the files to hand.

    If anyone does, could they email them to [email]steeban007@rediffmail.com[/email]

    or tell me where I can download them?

    please help!!!!!! very urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
