----------------------------------- BigBear Sun Feb 10, 2008 2:09 pm Organizing Pictures for Movie ----------------------------------- I am a collection of images extracted from a .gif used in the introduction to my program (Disney Pictures Presents) :lol: 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 %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. ----------------------------------- Tony Sun Feb 10, 2008 3:37 pm RE:Organizing Pictures for Movie ----------------------------------- relative path ----------------------------------- BigBear Sun Feb 10, 2008 4:28 pm Re: Organizing Pictures for Movie ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Clayton Sun Feb 10, 2008 4:57 pm RE:Organizing Pictures for Movie ----------------------------------- [url=http://google.ca]JFGI ----------------------------------- BigBear Sun Feb 10, 2008 5:06 pm Re: Organizing Pictures for Movie ----------------------------------- 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/ :lol: :lol: Well I will thanks. ----------------------------------- HeavenAgain Sun Feb 10, 2008 5:09 pm RE:Organizing Pictures for Movie ----------------------------------- pic:= Pic.FileNew ("Intro-"+intstr(picnum)+".bmp") or if they are in a folder... pic:= Pic.FileNew ("YOURFOLDERNAMEHERE\Intro-"+intstr(picnum)+".bmp")....huh :roll: as long they are in the same folder, this should work ----------------------------------- BigBear Sun Feb 10, 2008 5:13 pm Re: Organizing Pictures for Movie ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- BigBear Sun Feb 10, 2008 5:16 pm Re: Organizing Pictures for Movie ----------------------------------- huh :roll: as long they are in the same folder, this should work Yes it does work I just wanted my folder to look more organized. That's all ----------------------------------- HeavenAgain Sun Feb 10, 2008 5:18 pm RE:Organizing Pictures for Movie ----------------------------------- then just make a folder, and call it pictures or whatever, and 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. ----------------------------------- BigBear Sun Feb 10, 2008 5:26 pm Re: Organizing Pictures for Movie ----------------------------------- 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.
