File I/O: continued.

This example uses the FileIO XObject. This XObject is built into MacroMind Director, so it is always available.

The FileIO XObject uses the following methods:

mNew, mode, fileNameOrType	 opens a file. 
    Mode can be: 
    "read" 	     --  open file "fileName" 
    "?read" 	    --  get file dialog showing "fileType" 
    "write" 	     --  write file "fileName" 
    "?write" 	   --  put file dialog to write "fileName" 
    "append" 	 --  append file "fileName" 
    "?append" --  get file dialog showing "fileType"
    FileType for ?read can be : any 4 letter file type
