answer file vs. building a path manually

[Tim Bobo]

I am working in OS X. I have a revolution stack that is set up to play 
all the movies in a given folder.  Everything works fine until I hit a 
movie with a long file name.  When I set the players filename to be the 
full file path, it chokes.  When I use answer file to get the same 
exact file, it puts a truncated file path into the player as the 
filename, and it works.

The problem is I cannot use answer file, because I am trying to play a 
whole folder of clips.  Is there any way to get the truncated name of a 
file without using answer file for each individual file?

Thanks in advance for any help.
