Hi,

I also posted this in the jitter subforum as a follow up on a different question, however the people interested in this topic would probably be here, also for building the knowledge database.

I am trying to copy a file using javascript. however when I can not open the copied file. The player will give me an error, unable to open file.

What am I doing wrong here?

myfile = new File(filename, "read");
myfile.open();
if (myfile.isopen)
{
newName = new String(myfile.filename);
newName = newName.substring(0, newName.length – 4) + "_x.avi";
newFile = new File(location + newName, "readwrite", myfile.filetype);
newFile.open();
while (myfile.eof < = myfile.position)
{
newFile.writebytes(myfile.readbytes(1));
}
newFile.close();
myfile.close();

There is probably a fundamental flaw in the while loop or the filetype, however I can not see my mistake.

Thanks,

Maarten
