  • I'm trying to build a video player in my game, but I'd like to load in videos directly from a folder in my hard drive, without importing to Construct 3 first. I basically want to be able to fill a folder on my computer with a bunch of videos, and then when I run the game, whatever videos were added in the folder will automatically be loaded into the game.

    I'm pretty new to all this, so I've had trouble understanding documentation on exactly how to get this done. I understand that the "NW.js" object would be used (Possibly AJAX, as well?), but I'm afraid I'm getting tripped up on how to use them. For example, when attempting to use the NW.js "List files from..." action, I'm not sure I'm even formatting the file path correctly, because every attempt to list folder contents comes back empty.

    If anyone can assist me, or point me toward the right direction, it would be much appreciated!
