openXlib
Usage
openXlib whichFile
Description
Command; opens a specified Xlibrary file.
It is good practice to close any file you have opened as soon as you are finished using it. The
openXlib command has no effect on an open file.
The
openXlib command doesn’t support URLs as file references.
Xlibrary files contain Xtra extensions. Unlike openResFile, openXlib makes these Xtra
extensions known to Director.
When you open a Scripting Xtra extension using
openXlib, you must use closeXlib to close it
when Director is finished using it.
