Launch video from other place

Hi,

I begin with Jitter.

Is it possible to launch a video from an other folder than Max8/Library? Is it possible to read a video from a USB key? How to do that?

Many tanks,

Laurent.

read message,

or dropfile than store absolute path

What do I write in the message to specify the way?

read help file of video player that you intend to use.

it will most probably have read message to choose the file.

If you instead know where the file is,

and allways want to load it from same location,

use read absolutepathtothevideo

message.

to get that path use opendialog or dropfile.

help file of both objects will tell you how to do that.

Sorry, I forgot I'm always n Max even I'm working with Jitter.

Of course it works now!

Many thanks,

Laurent.
