Hi I'm wondering how to use flash variables with director mx 2004 or 11. What I
need to do is open external photo from my app (cd-rom). I try with fileXtra4 to
launch the external photo but I dont know how to tell director to launch the
selected image wich is call (selectImg) flash variable. It normaly refering to
something like that: "2E-AF3-IMG1.jpg" depending of selectImg value. I found
this script on the net but to make it work with a variable instead of a
specific file name.

instance = new(xtra "filextra3")
result = fx_FileOpenDocument(instance,the moviepath & "Img_2.jpg") <-- replace
Img_2.jpg by selectImg (Flash variable).
if result = 0 then alert "Sorry, no app is on the system to open JPEG files"

thanx Normally I use getUrl in flash but within a director projector it's not
working.

If you have a Flash sprite in Director and it issues a getURL() call,
this can be trapped in Director by adding a behavior to the Flash sprite:
--
on getURL me, vars
put "getURL:", vars
end

Do I have to replace vars by my variables name or I have to keep it this way cause it doesnt work.
Do I use the getUrl the normal way in flash or do I have to call lingo event.

You shouldn't have to change anything. Which version of Director and
which version of Flash are you using on which platform?

Good I finaly manage to make it work.
I was using sprite("Rapports").selectImg and its doesnt work.
If I use sprite(1).selectImg it work. Seem to only work with sprite number

heres the code.

on AGRANDIR

global gAgIMG
gAgIMG = sprite(1).selectImg
instance = new(xtra "FileXtra4")
result = fx_FileOpenDocument(instance,the moviepath & gAgIMG)
if result = 0 then alert "D?soler aucune application associ?e aux fichiers
JPEG est pr?sente sur votre ordinateur."


end
