version alpha 1

This script started out as a much bigger project to make a dual-screen media player out of a web browser. To do this, I first had to be able to make access the local file system and make a playlist. I found that is was very hard to do in Firefox but easy to do in IE. Accessing a file system from a web browser is not a very safe thing to do, which is why Firefox does not allow it.

This script was built using an ActiveX control and the YUI developer tools. There is no reliance on any server side technology to make this run, all coding is done in Javascript.

Because this script uses activeX contols, it must be run from Internet Explorer, and the security settings must be set to allow activeX components.

This is very much an alpha version, there are some bits that don't work right, and the code could do with a bit more cleaning. This project has been put on hold for now, so this script may or may not be developed any further for a while.

If you use this script, or would be interested in contracting me to do some more developments on it please feel free to give me an email. And if anyone know of an activeX control for powerpoint please let me know!
