Buddy API HELP

Question

I have just downloaded Buddy API for Director 11 (windows)
and it is not working for me. I have downloaded the file and place
'Buddy API Help.chm', 'Buddy API Xtra.x32' and 'Read me.txt into
'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Director 11\Configuration\Xtras'. I
have also added #namePPC:"Buddy API Xtra", #nameW32:"Buddy API
Xtra.x32" to the bottom of the xtrainfo.txt file.
I made a new project and named it 'test.dir' and saved this
in a filder called 'test' on the desktop. I placed one button on a
frame and added the code:
'on mouseUp me
baOpenFile( the moviePath & "test.txt" , "normal" )
end
I created a text file and named it 'test.txt' and saved this
into the test folder on the desktop.
I then saved a projector of the project into the same folder.
When I click on the button, nothing happens???? WHAT AM I
DOING WRONG?????

Answer 1

In the Modify, Movies, Xtras list, it will likely be called
'Buddy API
Xtra'.
When you say that you push the button and "nothing happens".
Do you
mean that literally? Or do you get an error message of some
sort? If
you have not added BuddyAPI into the projector, you should
get an error
stating that baOpenFile is not available (or perhaps a less
useful
"script error").
If you are not even getting that, then I assume you are using
a
#flashComponent button and you need to go into the Property
Inspector's
Flash Component tab and change the 'eventPassMode' to
#passAlways in
order to make the button work.
