Playmedia and Long File Names 

Keywords: 	 Playmedia and Long File Names

Question:

I'd disabled 8.3 filenames -- what's benefit to turning them back on and using FileNameShort here?

Answer:

I looked around and newer versions of Windows support long file names in the PlayMedia Command. Like this... 
wavname="C:\BizDocs\Incoming\1 work\Breaking Glass.wav"

PlayMedia('open "waveaudio!%wavname%" alias abc123')
PlayMedia("play abc123 wait") 
PlayMedia("close abc123")
