Open CD-Rom from MMF project?

[Kentronisk]

Is it possible to make an event that opens the user's CD rom?

Drop in the CD-Audio object, the action for the event editor is > Open Door

I'd keep in mind though, that a lot of CD drives these days do not have disc trays that stick out anymore.

What do you mean? Even laptop at least spring! the drive out a little...

Ow, that simple! Awesome

.. But my project seems to stop responding after I push the CD rom back in.. Is it a reason for that?

The only thing I have is

Start of Frame - Open Door

I think he means just a slot that you stick the disc in. Like a car stereo CD player, or a PS3. I haven't seen this on a computer though (I'm sure one exists, just haven't seen it myself). Regardless, the ejecting should still work the same anyway. Shouldn't matter if it's using a tray or just popping the disc out. I'm assuming he just wants to be able to eject the disc after installing or something.

It is trying to read music from the CD and play it automatically. Add another start of frame event to destroy the object after you use the Open Door action, then it won't exist to try and play the CD.

lol Im so amazed how you know everything about everything :P Thanks a lot, working sweeeet!

Just a quick off-topic question that I remember you helped me with a year or two ago, if youre still around.. Whats that key object thing called, that can track your keys pressed even while out of focus? I want to play a sound every time the user clicks on any key, but the basic keyboard and mouse object is only working while the window is in focus :0

Whats that key object thing called

"Key object", aka Virtual Key Object.

[Kentronisk]

Ah yeah, that was probably it.. Where is this downloaded from? :P
Never mind, found it in that ExtensionView program.. Awesome Thanks a lot .. But is there an Any key for this object??

Nevermind again, I found a most clever way myself to simulate this
