Jumping to a URL

Lingo or JavaScript syntax lets you jump to a URL that represents an Internet movie or a web page.

  • To jump to an Internet movie, use the gotoNetMovie method.

    For example, the statement gotoNetMovie "http://www.yourserver.com/movies/movie1.dcr" retrieves and plays the movie named movie1.dcr. For more information about this method, see the Scripting Reference topics in the Director Help Panel.

  • To jump to a web page, use the gotoNetPage method.

    For example, the statement gotoNetPage "http://www.yourserver.com/movies/intro.html" displays the web page named intro.html in a browser window. For more information about this method, see the Scripting Reference topics in the Director Help Panel.
