From: tommcdaid on 12 Jan 2008 13:30 I am using Director MX on a PC. I need to create a projector that will open a TIFF on a Mac. The TIFF is in the same folder as the Director Projector. I can get a PC version to work using BudApi. Cannot get the mac version to work. I would very VERY much appreciate any help or suggestions as to how to open a TIF from a Mac projector. Tom
From: Sean Wilson on 12 Jan 2008 14:04 When you say "open", do you mean in an external application, or import into and display on Director's stage? If the latter, do you have the Mix Services and TIFF Import Export xtras available?

From: Sean Wilson on 14 Jan 2008 14:40 Is there a Mac application "registered" to open TIFF files? What happens when you double-click a TIFF on such a Mac? What does Buddy API's baFindApp() have to say?

Hi, The Mac opens Tiffs using Preview. I have tried using BudAPI to open a Jpeg on the Mac (in the same folder) and that does not work either. This suggests to me that it is either something to with the BudApi plug in (maybe the cross platform file work differently on a mac), or the path I have entered is incorrect. The script I am using is ; on mouseup baOpenFile("@\\test.tif" , "normal" ) end mouseup |
