accessing local .html files w/ gotonetpage in director8

[JohnnnyB]

i'm burning a cd that i want compatible in both the mac os and win32
so i want the projector file to autorun and within the projector file
there are links to external websites,..
gotonet page works fine when calling http:// addresses
how do i call the pages using a local address on the cd
in such a way that Mac and Win will both recognize and access them

thanks

one way of doing it is to find the current operating environment, if its pc "the moviepath" is ready to use (put it in a variable anyway so you can use the same gotonetpage command for both later on), if it mac get the moviepath and replace the colons in the mac path with slashes and put in a variable. once you have done that use the following as your url
file:/// & variablename & (an extra / may be needed) page.
There may be better ways of doing this but this will work.
