Script to get file path

[soci222]

I need to store movie references in a container field, and then show the movies in the web using webcompanion.

Reading the forums I found that storing the movies path is the only way that ables me to show the movie in the web browser. But, I din't find a way to select a movie and store it's path in the database at the same time.

If I could access directly the path stored in the container with cdml would be great, but as I already said I have no hopes on that.

Can anyone help me? Thanks

If you use the folder import method that's available in FM version 6, you can specify a field to hold the file path, and a field to hold the file name. If you only want to bring in one file at a time, then you could put the file by itself inside a folder first. Other methods to get the file path involve using a plug-in like the highly recommended Troi File plug-in, or if on a Mac you can do it with Applescript. There are examples in the Applescript forum.
