browserName()

Syntax

    browserName pathName
    browserName()
    browserName(#enabled, trueOrFalse)

Description

System property, command, and function; specifies the path or location of the browser. You can use the FileIO Xtra to display a dialog box that allows the user to search for a browser. The `displayOpen()` method of the FileIO Xtra is useful for displaying an Open dialog box.

The form `browserName()` returns the name of the currently specified browser. Placing a pathname, like one found using the FileIO Xtra, as an argument in the form `browserName(fullPathToApplication)` allows the property to be set. The form `browserName(#enabled,` `trueOrFalse``)` determines whether the specified browser launches automatically when the `goToNetPage` command is issued.

This command is only useful playing back in a projector or in Director, and has no effect when playing back in a browser.

This property can be tested and set.
