Test

CallFile somescript.xas

i would recommend two things.

1. create a subdirectory to keep all your xas files in.
2. create a test item. referencing test.xas so you can always overwrite/edit it to make sure the script works as advertised before editing your menu again.

oh, thx for the reply

this info should be front and center somewhere

I'm working on a "clinic" on the subject.

I'd also like to work out a plug-n-play approach. It will likely involve a specific directory and info carried in the initial comments.

any help would be great

look at the submenu i posted again, or the item code that yourwishismine posted.

I made sure to give you a full submenu to use.

You cant use autodirs for scripts yet

You can remove the <media> and <thumbnail> lines to make it simpler to read

Just to make sure its not to much to grasp.. here is a simplified version.. just add more items to the submenu as you need them.

<Submenu>
<SortField>Title</SortField>
<Title>Scripts</Title>
<item>
<title>Test Script</title>
<descr>Use test.xas for testing</descr>
<Action>Callfile c:\mxmscripts\test.xas</Action>
</item>
</Submenu>
