Here is a simple little Xtra for use with Director 5 & 6 and Authorware 4. All it does is open a URL in the user's default browser. To use it:

gsOpenURL( string URL )

Fo example:

gsOpenURL( "http://www.mods.com.au" )
gsOpenURL( "mailto:gary@mods.com.au" )

The function will return 1 for success, or 0 if it fails. Note that success means that a browser was found and launched. It does not indicate that the supplied URL was found. 

The URL can be any valid URL understood by a browser, including a html file on disk.

This Xtra is a freebie - you may do with it as you wish, except sell it as an product.

If you have any comments or problems, contact me at gary@mods.com.au or visit my web site at http://www.mods.com.au
