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")
