Organizing Pictures for Movie

I am a collection of images extracted from a .gif used in the introduction to my program (Disney Pictures Presents) Laughing
I want the folder container my program and files to be organized, so I can have these 67 pictures in another folder than declare them like this
code:
%pic:= Pic.FileNew ("C:\Documents and Settings\Fake\My Documents\Assignement\Intro-"+intstr(picnum)+".bmp")

However this only works on on my computer if I change computers this line of code must change. Like when I submit it to my teacher.

Please, if you know another way other than having all those pictures in the same folder as everything else please tell me.

relative path

Well usually when you reply to my posts with a few words I realize that you gave me a command or another key word to search for. I have researched this relative path but have not been able to solve my problem.

Is there a way to get current directory? Or change director to another directory within the current one?

I guess this is why you have to specify where programs are installed to import their values to the registry and specify directories.

Can I use a .CAB file to get files or would this require me to specify its location?

Sorry Tony I was unable to solve your two word riddle.

Wow I never knew what the meant I have heard and said "google it" or "I just googled"
So I click on your link thinking I would find a post or tutorial by you or Dan or some other knowledgeable user that would answer my problem but no google.com pops up. So I googled JFGI and first page, I am feeling lucky, comes up with www.fuckinggoogleit.com/ Laughing Laughing

Well I will thanks.

code:
pic:= Pic.FileNew ("Intro-"+intstr(picnum)+".bmp")

or if they are in a folder...
code:
pic:= Pic.FileNew ("YOURFOLDERNAMEHERE\Intro-"+intstr(picnum)+".bmp")
....huh Rolling Eyes
as long they are in the same folder, this should work

So I know the difference between relative and absolute paths. So I guess therei sno other way and either I prompt my teacher for the directory my program is in.
Or have 67 pictures in the same folder as my turing file and text files.

then just make a folder, and call it pictures or whatever, and
code:
pic:= Pic.FileNew ("pictures or whatever\Intro-"+intstr(picnum)+".bmp")
as long the picture folder and the turing source file are in the SAME folder, it, is, fine.

Omg I feel so stupid thanks for being patient and now I know how it's done.
I thought it was either in the same folder or specify entire location. Thanks HeavenAgain +Karma +Bits

Edit :Edit by Clayton: None of that now.
