FileXtra4 problem - default folder doesn't work.

Question

Don't know why this doesn't work, but the default folder
setting in the
FileXtra open/save dialogues doesn't seem to work as
advertised. My code
goes like so:
currentLevel = fxObj.fx_FileOpenDialog(the moviePath &
"\Levels\","*.lvl","Load Level",False,True)
the moviePath & "\Levels\"
should be the correct folder, but instead, it always defaults
to My
Documents for some reason. (When running as a projector. In
Authoring
mode, it defaults to the moviePath, but ignores my
sub-folder.) Either way,
it never gets it right the first time. The second time and
subsequent
times, it always goes to wherever you last opened something,
but the first
time is always wrong. I did notice that the example in their
documentation:
put fxObj.fx_FileOpenDialog("C:\My Documents\", "Text
Files/*.TXT","Choose a
text file", True, True)
does use My Documents as its default, but I've changed that,
so it should be
going to the folder I pointed it at.

Answer 1

Without looking too deeply, I think I remember that, yes, it
doesn't work.
I usually end up using BuddyAPI for this.
