From button to folder of pics

[deafo]

I'm still a very newbie there, I can get from page to page with "jump" action but how will I get one of the buttons (in the third page) lead to a folder of pictures? Pics are in jpeg and bitmap and I'm doing documentary of dolphins. Will I have to put a folder of pictures in "Resources" folder? and with what action? thanx in advance

thankyou I'll try that but because I'm a newbie what's
%Srcdrive% ? that I saw in your post.

I've tried to follow the post you've gave and burn 'em onto cd. I doulble click on autorun (it did'nt automatically run as soon as I put in the cd) and there come my menu, great. But the post did not answer my question (sorry) because the post was to open folder in explorer in my hard drive. Well, I don't want my users to open a folder in pc because they won't be able to (otherwise they would all have to use my pc lol) What I'm trying to say is WHERE can I put a folder (full of dolphin pics) into the directory before I'll burn 'em to cd? So when my users open the folder with the click of a button, the folder will appear in the cd, not in my hard drive, whew I hope this is good enough explanation.

Everything you want to put onto the CD must reside in the Distribution folder on your HDD (or sub-folder thereof).

Put the pictures in a folder in your Distribution folder. You should see the Distribution folder window somewhere in the AMS40 design environment. Make a folder called "Pictures". Then copy your images to that folder. The action to open that folder at runtime is File.Open with "%SrcDir%\Pictures" as the file to open.
