Opening Image on CD in New Browser Window

[gelcode webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hey folks,

I have been trying to use gotoNetPage to open large jpgs in a browser window, but it seems that that function requires the protocal ([url]http://)[/url] to work.

Is there another way to do this that I am not seeing.

The images are in a subfolder called net/ right within the main directory.

I need to find a way without commercial xtras that will work on all platforms (or at worst XP & OSX).

This is for a school project.

Regards,

Jason

Well I see that I could use the open command, but I have no way to resolve the path of the default browser. Any thoughts?

Assuming this is for a projector...

Use the file:/// (yes, three slashes) protocol

sep=the last char of the moviePath
gotoNetPage("file:///" & the moviePath & "net" & sep & "a.jpg")

For the Mac, you may be forced to use an xtra (e.g. openURL from
[url]www.mods.com.au[/url]) because gotoNetPage uses NN regardless of what the user's
browser preference is.
