How to use the binary array object to load file?

[RGBreality]

Hey, folks.

I have been having a hard time getting MMF2 Developer's native Data Elements to properly extract binary data I place into it. So, I thought I would take another approach, though I'm not sure this will work....

Can I use the Binary Array object to load a file at frame start? It seems that I am able to with smaller files (such as a VBS file), but when I try to save to disk a small executable, its file size doesn't match and it doesn't run properly.

So, what is the best way to use the Binary Array object to load external files. (I suspect the answer is, "You're not even using it how it's been designed.")

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I suspect the answer is, "You're not even using it how it's been designed."

Close - no, actually, it hasn't been designed the way you're using it, even though it should have been. It cannot load files from the Data Elements the way most of the Clickteam objects can. The only way to load it is to extract it and get the temporary path name.
