Off topic ... Shockwave and Valentina

[Chuck Neal]

Technically this Xtra is not SW safe then.  SW movies are not allowed to
access files outside the dswmedia folder unless the user is given a dialog
to select them.

Hi Gunnar,
Hi Ruslan,

Properly speaking, I tested shockwave movie only on my local computer. I
used next path in the script to specify path to the database file:
    the moviePath & "MyDb.vdb"
When I run this movie in the projector (or in autoring mode in the Director)
my database was created in the same folder when the .dir file was located.
But when I run it as Shockwave movie (in IE) "the moviePath" gives me an
empty string - so my database files were created on the desktop! So for
testing I changed my code to use absolute path. But, of cource, in the real
situation must be some other mechanism to determine this path - based on
application specific.
