I"m still trying to get a macro that will read a list of directories
within a directory, then make /avi's out of the file sin each sub dir.  
I thought what I did would work, but is doesn't, can someone please
help.  Here is what I have to open each  dir as an image sequence.
***********
 macro "multi movie maker38"{
 dir = getDirectory("Choose a Directory"); //the top level dir
 list1 =  getFileList(dir) ;   //list of each dir
 stack = 0 ;
 setBatchMode(true);
  for ( i = 0 ; i < list1.length; i++) {
        if (endsWith(list1[i], "/")) {
 
           list2 = getFileList("" + dir + list1[i]); //list of the files
in the current dir

            print(dir+list1[i]+list2[0]); // this works fine
            print(" ");
            run("Image Sequence...", "open=dir+list1[i]+list2[0]  
number=list2.length increment=1 scale=100 file= sort" ); //doesn't seem
to work ?
            saveAs("AVI... ",""+dir+list1[i]+".avi");
            close();
      }
  else
   print("Error : Not an Image File!");
  }

}

****************
The print statement works fine, and prints out the correct path to the
files, but they never seem to open. please help...
thanks,
