Double-Clicking A Document
Thanks to the extensive range of xtras available, a Director projector can create any type of document and write it to the user's hard disk. In Windows Explorer and the Macintosh Finder, users expect that a double-click on a document icon will launch the program that created it. This article shows you how to associate files with the Director projector that created them.
Reader Feedback: Page 1 of 1

The unsupported 'the commandLine' is useful, and also, not very robust. It worked fine on MacOS X/MX2004 until somehow it quit working in my application. Earlier versions of the app still work, as do the example file. Strange behavior.
On Windows note that you'll have to have your publish settings to allow multiple instances of your app; otherwise only the first file you double-click will launch. Note also that it WILL create multiple instances, and not just pass 'the commandline' file path into the currently running instance.

Seems to work but is very fickle, esp. on the OSX Mac system. Is there a more detailed approach to this sort of stuff anywhere else or is that it? It would seem that this kind of application preparation is extremely useful for Director developers; being one myself I have been forever looking for ways to apply this kind of approach.

Wow! MXDJ has great support. Thanks again for the help!
