opening a document on an external program

[mpz111 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi,

I'm using director MX and I'm using FileXtra4 to open up JPEG's and PDF files on external programs. When i play the movie inside director, my links work perfectly. But when i try to open the links when playing my movie through the projector, it tells me i have a script error. My lingo is as follows:

on mouseUp
instance = new(xtra "filextra4")
result = fx_FileOpenDocument(instance,the moviepath & "Img_2.jpg")
if result = 0 then alert "Sorry, no app is on the system to open JPEG files"
end


Why would my link work in Director, but not when i play my movie through my projector? Thanks for your help!

You've forgotten to Modify->Movie->Xtras and tell it you're using fileXtra4
and/or forgotten to put a copy of fileXtra4.x32 in the projector's Xtras folder.
