For the sourcePath you?re using _movie.path and the @ operator which is
redundant. Just use the @ operator and you should be fine. If that doesn?t
solve the problem check the value of resultCode, it will probably be something
other than 0.

Sorry about that, the script and xtra works on Windows.

Luck.

That would mean that destinationPath="".

You perhaps need to use buddyAPI to get a list of the drive names on the Mac
before presenting the baGetFolder dialog, although I suggest that just using
buddyAPI to get the Desktop folder to supply as the starting folder in the
dialog would suffice.

I don't have the Mac BuddyAPI docs to hand, but I think it's the same call
as on Windows:

----------------------------------
property spriteNum

on beginSprite
sprite(spriteNum).cursor=280
end

on endSprite
sprite(spriteNum).cursor= -1
end

on mouseUp me
sourcePath = _movie.path &
"@:PRODUCT_1roduct_1_imagesroduct_1_zoom.j pg"
provisionalDestFolder=baSysFolder("desktop")
destinationPath = baGetFolder(provisionalDestFolder,"Copy
image",1,"Select folder",-2,0)

if destinationPath <> "" then
resultCode = baCopyFileProgress(sourcePath, destinationPath,"ALWAYS",
"Saving
file... ", "Cancel", 0)
end if

end
-------------------------------

Also, you will get better cursor responsiveness by setting the sprite's
cursor rather than using mouseEnter/Leave to set it.

I suggest keeping the value of the folder the user chose and starting from
there if they can copy more than one file. You can write the code for that
:-)

Have you tried those lines in the message window, one at a time and checking
the values at each stage?

Andrew

A quick glance at the BuddyAPI documentation shows that 1 is the error
code for "Invalid Source file name". I would look into the 1st argument
of baCopyFile and see what is wrong with it. Is it an invalid filename?
Does the file exist?

put this immediately before the copy command:

put sourcePath

Does it return a valid filename? Is it correct? Does that file exist?

As Applied CD said earlier, you do not need the @ sign and _movie.path
in the same command. They mean the same thing, so you may very well be
mangling the actual command by using both.

This is different code from what you had in your previous posts... you may
have to call that BuddyAPI function with different parameters depending on
the platform.

And a result code of 1 means the source file name was invalid, so something
is wrong there too - I guess you didn't get round to correcting the line

sourcePath = _movie.path & "@:PRODUCT_1roduct_1_imagesroduct_1_zoom.j pg"

- didn't the value of sourcePath look wrong in the message window? That
would show you what you need to correct.

I'd rather show you how to find out what is wrong than spoon-feed you all
the answers...

You've forgotten to tack an actual filename onto the end of destinationPath.
