Menus
=====
This directory provides some example menus. These are the menus used day to
day by the above people. They are provided as examples of more advanced
Director menus. You can try them out by double clicking on them. Feel free

FileTypes from Paul Clifford
============================
*FileTypes [types to be included]
eg...
*FileTypes 0 : types &000-&0FF
*FileTypes 321 : types &100-&3FF
*FileTypes DCB987654 : types &400-&9FF and &B00-&DFF
*FileTypes A : types &A00-&AFF
*FileTypes FE : types &E00-&FFF
*FileTypes : all types
I've included a replacement Filemenu, with the SetType menu altered to
offer a list of filetypes divided in the same way as in the PRM's
(page 4-557), so it now looks like this:
I
---------------
User > (000-0FF)
Public domain > (100-3FF)
Commercial > (B00-DFF and 400-9FF)
Acorn > (A00-AFF)
Generic > (E00-FFF)
---------------
Full list > (all filetypes)
iXpandCD © Jon Wright, iX Software a CD Player extension for Director
=====================================================================
Add the following to the line after 'DirectorObey Director:Menus.Library.!Core':
DirectorObey Director:Menus.Library.iXpandCD
After this adjustment, reload your menu structure and iXpandCD should be
ready for use.
Now, after clicking on the CDFS icon, you will be presented with a different
menu structure. To play a CD, follow the 'Audio Options' sub-menu and then
follow either the 'Play Tracks' sub-menu or 'Control Panel' menu. Both of
these will let you play a CD.
I hope that this filter will make playing CDs easier without having to load
memory-hungry, dedicated CD players.
