View 2 RepliesI got a Windows Flash Projector (.exe) that I need to autorun from a USB drive. I just want the user to be able to plug in the USB drive to their machine and have it start running without any menus. I've been using the following with no luck:
[autorun]
open=KSF_USB_main.exe
The project is composed of a number of .swf files that load into the "KSF_USB_main.swf" file. There are also PDF and FLV links within some of the movies. I have the "autorun.inf" file and all other files (including the .exe Projector file) on the USB drive. When I plug it in to a PC it brings up the "What Do You Want To Do?" window and doesn't autorun.
I have been given the task of creating an Autorun installer for a distributable CD, and thought I would challenge the task with Flash. In previous versions of flash it was possible to use fscommand and trickery to run other local exe files, but due to virus creators and what-not, this has been reworked and totally destroyed for others to use. So as a Flash developer I have hit a bit of a brick wall with this, and am asking out for any alternative ideas anybody may have?
Just as a heads up for what features are required: GUI with simple graphics/buttons Ability to launch external exe/pdf files must be able to be compiled to an exe, which can be launched by any windows machine without installing third party software eg Java. The only simple solution I have thought of is making an html page, but using a browser is something I want to avoid doing!
Is it possible to pass and use command line parameters to Flash projector exe file? I have a SWF which reads few FlashVars. I need to publish that SWF as exe and pass those parameters. An option of publishing it as AIR application and then command line paramaeters is also there.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make my Flex SWF act like a Flash movie SWF so that when the user issues the Play command in the FLash Player it can trigger an event in my Flex SWF file. I'm not sure what event this would hook into or if this is possible with Flex.
View 1 RepliesI have a directory that contains a .swf and assets. What I would like to do is put all of these in a folder and then have the projector outside of this folder.
So the projector would basically launch the swf that is within the assets folder from outside of it.
I do not have access to an .fla for this project.

I'd like to be able to write a .swf file that is runnable as a command line app. In other words, I would be able to create actionscript classes which can interact with stdin and stdout, and could then execute that .swf directly in the command line. I suspect that this isn't really possible. Can anyone confirm that? EDIT: A couple of the answers pointed out that using Flash for command line work probably isn't the best choice. I wholeheartedly agree in most situations. The reason I am asking about this is because I want to do some AS3 code generation, and reflecting on AS3 classes within the runtime would be easier than parsing the code or walking the intermediary XML that asdoc produces. I'm doing the XML approach now in Ruby, but would love to have a cleaner solution!

View 14 Replies1) Is there any way to create windowless non-fullscreen projector with Flash CS3?
2) Or even better "masked" projector applications (where the window will be able to take any shape depending on a mask, and not only rectanlge shape)?
3) Or at least any way to change the title of the projector's window? ...
Or we are "doomed" with every non-fullscreen projector application to suffer from the "Adobe Flash Player 9" window title?.... :/...

I have a presentation that I'm trying to create and export to a projector file. My problem is that I have gone beyond the allowed 16000 frames so the presentation stops in the middle and loops back to the beginning.
View 15 RepliesI don't really know that much about Commands in Flash, but I was thinking this could be a possible Command to create.See, I have this puppet made up of dozens of separate pieces, all on their own layers.It's very tedious to click on 10 different symbols in order to move the character's arm, for example.I was wondering if there was a way to create a JSFL command to select each of the 10 symbols on the stage.
I tried clicking each one, and saving the "Change Selection" actions from the History Panel as a Command, but that is location-based.As soon as I move those symbols to a new location, the command I saved no longer selects them.And I can't select the objects by layer or frame, because it doesn't seem to want to save those either.
I am a MAC with latest MAC OS. I used CS4.
1) I am trying to burn a hybrid CD (MAC/PC) that will autorun and have workable shared objects on each platform from a projector file. I chose projectors because the browser version will not let my links work from the cd. It sends them to the ADOBE site with a security message where the CD path can NOT be set as a vaild path to allow users to use links. I would consider the Browser versions if I knew a workaround to this problem.
2) The projectors will not run the:
fscommand("allowscale","false"); set on the maintimeline -
so that presents a world of problems for me as many (hundreds) of screens were created with animations starting off screen. Someone said the Adobe players 9 and 10 have messed this up... anyone know the answer here. I can not ask the thousands of potential users to remove there version 9 and go get version 8 and reinstall it.

View 3 Replieshow to put together a bullet proof Autorun that will work on any Windows system. I've been playing around with "[autorun] OPEN=OpenMe.exe" and with "Bin" folders and "Shell" scripts for days. Why doesn't anything work? All I want to do it to open "START.exe". If I double-click on START.exe in the list of disc files - it works completely. How do I get Windows to do the double clicking for me?Do I have to re-write or re-structure my project? (I don't believe I should.)Does it matter what burning software I use? (I don't believe it does.)Is DVD different from CD as far as autorun is concerned? (I don't believe it does. As long as the player exists on the system.)

View 2 RepliesI am building an application template in FlashDevelop/Flash, to be used as the template for all our future projects. In a swc-free world, the template has a bunch of library symbols and a whole package of classes in the /lib/ folder that run the whole thing.
What I would like to do, is package all that up into a single swc, so the team can checkout the latest build of the swc from svn at the start of a project, put it in the /lib/ folder and forget about it.
However, all attempts to do this have failed so far. Is it even possible to put everything into one swc?
