From: Phyton232 on 12 Apr 2008 11:02 Hi there. My boss drop this bomb in my desk and I have no idea of how to sort. He gave a director file that I need to modify in order to work (apparently the project was started by the guy who left). Basically I got this director that using the WebXtra should try go to a certain web page. If there is no internet connection on user's computer should read a file in the cd. Ive got the code to search for the file, but I dont know how to do the rest. Can anyone help? Thanks! on exitFrame set the searchCurrentFolder to TRUE put navigate ( sprite 1, the applicationPath & "file.htm") end

What remains is for you to determine whether there is an internet connection and navigate to an 'online' URL instead of a local page if there is. From what you already have (navigate()) can you see how to complete the second part - navigating the sprite to an online URL? What research have you done about the first part - determining whether there's an internet connection?

The only research Ive done was within the company's previous projects, and unfortunately they don't anything like that ready. What I have noticed is with WebXtra (which we do have) you can type an url within a project and it works (I have tried) so I thought maybe there would be something in WebXtra itself that could do that, but I'm not sure. If WebXtra can't do that (check internet connection) I don't know what to do, to be honest. Like I said, I'm a bit lost... Thank you for your reply |
