    Default oppening another movie and QT

    I have writen some simple lingo, when the user clicks the mouse a new movie is oppened.

    i.e. go movie "prototype.dir"

    What do I do if the movie is an exe. I have tried deleting the .dir extension but that does not work.



    Secondly and finally I have writen some code which plays a quick time move. If a user does not have quick time installed then obviously they cannot view the QT movie and an error message appears. Is there a way round this. Is it be possible to write some lingo which opens a msg box saying the user needs to install QT?
