You should be sure that your xml file has this name (MXMCOPY.xml) and that it is in the folder you specified. The ActionScript should be ok if you use my last share script. How do you like it? You use by, do you? Watch in your script and be sure that the "\" is there where it should be.

there a reason why everytime i load a action script it says ERROR:ActionScript file does not exist ... heres what i ahve in the menu for it CODE CallFile F:AppsmxmMXMCopy.xml i dont see anything wrong...

AARRGGHHH!!!


Script files are not XML.

They are like BATCH FILES FROM DOS!

Please stop putting them in that format. I even include a file, TestScript.xas in the release!!

The error is because of the xml tags, which are not supposed to be there.

Anybody care to put down about one or two thousand pages for a decent guide?

Ok i transfered my MXMcopy.xml to MXMcopy.xas and it still works, why does it understand xml extentions if we are not supose to use them? or did i not understand what you mean?

It shouldn't have any XML tags in it. The extension doesn't matter, but "xas" is what I picked for a standard.

The point is that the file should look like:

CODE

BeginDraw UseCurrent MessageBox "This is a test script running from$eol$%0%$eol$Press a button to continue" EndDraw Input

NOT like this:

CODE

BeginDraw UseCurrent MessageBox "This is a test script running from$eol$%0%$eol$Press a button to continue" EndDraw Input

Because it doesn't parse ActionScripts executed using CallFile as XML.

I know this might seem confusing, but XML files are used for configuration or databases... Action Scripts are elemtns in those files, but that's because there's a lot of other things there as well. Action Script files don't need anything else.

Those who still remeber DOS can liken this to the difference between a config.sys file and an autoexec.bat file.

Now I need to come up with a special "plugin" format to auto-add scripts, maybe even over the web.
