copy files form CD to hard drive for Mac/Pc

[kentar]

Is it possible to choose the destination?

I know that the fileio Xtra does that...

Have you got some *.dir files or can you copy and paste the code for Mac or Pc and for Director 7 or 8

Thanks...

Rémi.

Here is some code from MX but it shouldn't be too different. I'm using the BuddyAPI. This is for Windows. I can add the Mac code if you want as well. I hope this helps.

-- Create folder
if baFolderExists(installFolder) = 0 then
baCreateFolder(installFolder)
end if

-- Copy files to folder
baCopyFile(the moviePath & "Start.exe", installFolder & "Start.exe", "IfNewer")

-- Create shortcut on desktop
baMakeShortcut(installFolder & "Start.exe", baSysFolder("desktop"), "Connecting Math")
end if

-- Create shortcut in start menu
baMakeShortcut(installFolder & "Start.exe", baSysFolder("groups"), "Connecting Math")
