ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] Opening A Word Doc Using Flash On Both Mac's And PC's?
Feb 23, 2009
I am a graphic designer working on a project for a client at my office. We created a Flash brochure, with flipping pages and all the bells and whistles. This flash file will be put on a CD among other items, distributed to users on both PC and Mac systems. Within the flash file, there are hyperlinks that link to the web, but we would also like a few buttons to open up a Word Document on the user's computer for them to edit and print.
I've already seen in other threads a way to do it using executables, but to my knowledge EXE's do not work on Macs. Is there a universal alternative? Is there a way to do it on Mac and we can have two separate versions per CD?
I would like to ask about action script for this, when you click on the button, it can "direct" open the microsoft word document from pc. If use this: on (release) { getURL("test.doc", "_self"); } It will pop up diolog first, i dun want this. I want it can direct open the file.
I have been building a simple word game. It is smple but works fine. I am now trying to enhance some of the features.I would like to see if I can display one letter of each word so the Player has a hint. Think of this as a beginners level.The words are random from a text list. Either I can make the letters invisible and the game starts without a hint or I am able to select a letter using charAt() or creating a new variable substring()from the word which is the displayed repeatedly on the stage(not what I want) I have not been able to find a way to display one letter and display it in the correct order within the word and keep the remaining letters invisible.
I am doing drag-the-word quiz. When you match the word with correct part, the message pop out, saying Bingo! If the word is matched with wrong part, the "Sorry. Try Again" message pops out, says "Sorry. Try Again". I managed to make the "Sorry. Try Again" message disappear. However it dun work anymore after that. Sometimes it is quite funny. When I play it, the "Sorry. Try Again" message dun pop out at all.
Another problem - I am not sure how to make the word fit into the white box. I only know how to make the word drop on the white box. Can you tell me how to do it? I will be adding voiceovers to the quiz when the word is matched with the part. For e.g it will say "bingo" or "Sorry. Try Again". How to attach the voiceovers to it?
create the word which changing many time and in the end become a clear word like what's happend exactly in horizintal menu in [URL] That's what i wanted the changing in words like that menu?
Ok so If I load a list of like 2000 words from a text file into a text box like this
ActionScript Code: var url:String = "dictionaries/"aa.txt"; var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loadit.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
[Code]....
how could I randomly choose a word from the list and have it as a variable
system to browse offline howeverthis doesn't work correctly for any less then ActionScript 3. Whenyou highlighted a word in the past such as "null" it use to pull upthe word and the info in all the books. Now all I see is a webbrowser that doesn't do this for me. I mean who sits there atadobe's end and thinks up of ways to slow someone down like this??How can you remove the corequick linking from the program.Number 1 not everyone is on AS3 and some of us still have to updateAS2 code.
I`m interpreting a large piece of MS Word text into movie shorts I mean to organize into an interactive `newspaper` style presentation that can be perused online. With `web-presentation`, I`m a true novice; so my first crucial question is: How, or can, I import text from MS Word into a Flash Film/Presentation, with all its fonts+colours intact? My rusty logic is that D-Weaver seems kinder to importing text, but is designed to make websites; I only want to make web-presentations, which I assume can inhabit websites such as MySpace.
I know there are performance loses if you don't specify variable types explicitly. Do ActionScript/Java developer in general prefer the use of the in classes or no?
public function hello():void { this.speaker.says("hello"); }
Is posible? Flex app detect word when mouse over on message in pdf file. Now have some project translate language with tooltip or pop-up when mouse over on it. I found some code can detect word (string) on TextField class but not in pdf.
I was wondering if it is possible to open Microsoft Word through ActionScript 3.0 on Flash CS3? I have tried several different ways so far, but none work. I actually want Word to open (or whatever their default word document may be). I don't want to open it on an internet browser.
launching word docs, powerpoints and pdfs from flash projectors on a CD. I've tried using -
fscommand("launch","mydoc.doc");
which does nothing. I've also tried as someone recommended, putting the files into a subfolder called "fscommand", that doesnt work either. Then I tried -
getURL("mydoc.doc");
which simply opens a web browser window then opens the folder where the file is stored rather than opening it. So to sum up, I want to make a flash projector on a CD which will launch those 3 file types with the click of a button.
My problem is I have a projector that i want to open a word doc that resides in the assets folder (on the cd) when a person clicks on a button. How can I accomplish this?
Is there a feature in Flash that allows you to export content into Word. I know that Captivate has this feature, but was unaware that Flash did until someone mentioned it recently.
[URL]I client want some thing like this. User will search a word and application searches that word in a opened page and highlight it. This is a Flash application and uses php at back-end to generate XML.
I made a flash application that gets the geolocation of a viewer ( city, state) and I'm trying to figure out how I could make the font smaller to fit in the container that I have it in depending on how big the name of the city is. For example, "Detroit" may fit, but "Los Angeles" may need to be a smaller font.
I am having trouble getting even a trivial example of fscommand("exec", "..."); to work. I just need to open a Word .doc from within a flash exe projector. Eventually this needs to be on a cross-platform CD, but I'd be happy to see it work from the desktop of my PC at this point! I've attached a really simple sample.
I've read some documentation about regular expressions in AS3. I was wondering if it is possible to check every word of a string for a pattern. If all the words satisfy the pattern, the test is passed, otherwise is failed. Here is an example of what I mean:
Code: var reg:RegExp = /[a-z]/i; var str1:String = "a b"; var str2:String = "a 1";
I am evaluating flex for a mobile and a web application and one of things I want to be able to do is show a google docs or a microsoft docs file (doc,ppt) within a flex application. Google docs files are published as web pages so I guess you need a html component with javascript enabled. Does such a component exist in flex 4+? Similarly how would I go about showing a word or a powerpoint file inside a flex app? How does a site like slideshare or scribd do it?
