opening windows media player 1

[ksbrace]

Hi,
I have a directory of ".avi" files and I'm trying to have Windows Media Player open when I click on the button, but it's not working. Any suggestions, I can open up .txt files w/no problem. Thanks in advance

on mouseUp me
  strMovie = strName & ".avi"
  put strMovie
  open strMovie with "Windows Media Player"

Director "open" command requires full path to the application. For example:
--
open strMovie with "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplyer.exe"
--
The problem is that not everyone has WM player in the directory you specify, so unless you're developing for a specific environment I would use BuddyAPI "baOpenFile" command as it won't require the application path.
--
baOpenFile(the moviePath & strMovie, "Normal")
