Subject: A bit more help with referencing local filenames
Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 10:18:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAK9u4iDDWzrHuwAoGhg62SKoJRg2hbXpOUB5q_wPxaUr2fV7mg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

At the moment I have two bits of code that conspire to build a link to
a file that is on a website.

So, variables set on a per-document basis, giving the folder:

swfURLPath={http://some location or other/PN01_media/},
supportURLPath={http://some location or other/PN01_support/},

These combine with a macro, ending with:

 [url(\swflocation#1/#1.swf)]}

and a piece in the actual file that gives the filename to be retrieved

\PlaceSWF{ModelACircuit}

What I'd like to do is be able to alter swfURLPath to designate a
local folder for retrieving  the swf and launching it in a browser

Same thing for the supportURLPath, which always opens PDFs in a browser.

I tried stuff like:

swfURLPath={\\PN01_media/},
supportURLPath={\\PN01_support/},

And have trawled the context wiki and documentation, but cannot find
anything authoritative on linking to local files using relative
references, as you might in html.

I'm keen not to try and use the same hooks so that I can switch back
and forth between remote and local access to the supporting files.
There is a good reason for this - honest.

Thanks in anticipation.

Ian
