Saving out a w3d member (off topic?) 2003-12-13 - By Mark Hill

Hi,
Actually the FileXtra isn't on the DirMX CD, nor included with
Director, you have to download and install it yourself from Kent
Kerstens website at http://www.kblab.net/xtras/index.html.
It's an excellent free xtra, and I recommend you check it out... but
there is a way to achieve what you're after without it using the
built-in getNthFileNameInFolder() function:
on xImportFolder(tFolderPathName, tSearchSuffix)
tNumIts = 5000 -- the number of files to search
tFileList = []
repeat with i = 1 to tNumIts
n = getNthFileNameInFolder(tFolderPathName, i)
if n = EMPTY then exit repeat
c = n.char.count
s = tSearchSuffix.char.count - 1
if n.char[c-s..c] = tSearchSuffix then xImportFile(n)
end repeat
end
on xImportFile(filename)
--do your thang :)
put filename
end
HTH :)
