Using buddy API

[proust]

Hi there!
I have a director presentation, which will be supplied to on CD-rom. What needs to happen is this:
The user puts the CD-rom into their CD drive.
Then a copy of the said presentation is automatically made to their their hard drive.

I've download Buddy API, but haven't had much success as yet. I've begun by making a small auto start in director file with the following script as a global script:

on startMovie
set OK = baCopyFile("d:\foundations_with_audio.exe", "c:\foundations_with_audio.exe", "IfNotExist&quot
end


but all this does is on auto launch is bring up a director player error.

Hope I've made myself clear


Thanks

Proust

dont think you need the set ok =. Also have you placed the Buddy Api xtra in the movie xtras for that movie?

Also, don't always assume that your CD-ROM drive with be the D: drive. On mine it's the E: drive. Use

the moviePath

to get the path to the current projector file and then use a relative path to get to the file you need.

Not sure about your error though!
