This behavior goes on a single frame's script. It will stop on that frame and check for a disk to be in the drive. If the disk is not present it will prompt to try again or cancel. You can choose to have it quit, continue, or go to a specific marker if the user cancels. Other wise it goes to the next frame and sets a global variable named theDriveLetter = the drive"s letter of the drive it found with the correct name. Note that this behavior needs the freeware fileXtra to function
