Hello,

Using AW 7.02

I have a couple of library files, one contains graphics, the other audio. I
am using a dive routine to run through the icons in the a7p file and if it is a
sound icon that is "linked", I want to make sure that it is linked to the audio
library file. What I am having a problem with is obtaining the linked
filename.

Is there an icon property that contains the linked info? I believe that there
is, as when I right click on a sound icon which is linked to a library file, I
noticed that I could select Library Links... from the pop up menu, and I found
the following data:

Library Link Name:1.3.1s
Linked To:1.3.1s
In Library:lessonAudio.a7l <<<----This is what I am interested in getting
(if it is lessonGraphics.a7l then I want to warn the developer)


A little test that I did with one audio icon in the flow line just prior to
the calc contents below:

T_Str := GetIconContents(IconPrev(IconID)) --
produced:[[#type:#linkedIcon, #iconID:262168]]
if T_Str[1, #type] = #linkedIcon then
T_Str1 := GetIconContents(T_Str[1,#iconID]) -- produced:[[#type:#sound,
#filename:"", #storage:#internal, #format:"MP3"]]
else
T_Str1 := "Otherwise, something else."
end if

#filename above appears not to be the place to look as it may contain the
actual pathname to the mp3 file, IF that info is still available.

FYI, The audio in the library file is NOT linked externally.


Thanks

Mike

You can figure this out mathematically. ((Library number + 1) * 65536) + 7
will be the first icon number in the library. You can also use
GetLibraryInfo which gives you information on the libraries including the
root icon of each. So your icon 262168 will be in the 3rd library returned
from GetLibraryInfo()

Mike,

Thank you for your quick response. I used GetLibraryInfo() as you suggested.
