View 1 RepliesThe powers that be have decided a project I'm working on shouldn't go on a website after all, but needs to be on a CD for Windows users instead and of course I only have a couple of days to made the "relevant tweaks" as they call them.It needs to run directly from the CD so I presume AIR isn't a good option.I've got all of it working by publishing to a Windows Projector executable. The bit I'm stuck with is allowing users to click buttons to open various directories which will be on the CD. These are source files for following tutorials from the main part of the CD. I've tried playing around with the various options in the FileReference class (namely browse() and download()), but they seem to be set up for use online only.
View 2 RepliesI'm currently trying to get an AS3 based flash file to run full screen in a windows projector, but no matter what I try codewise I cannot get the function correctly working,I've tried
fscommand("fullscreen","true");
which works, but I'm also told to avoid it, as it's buggy : - I also tried
fscommand("trapallkeys","true");
fscommand("fullscreen","true");
fscommand("showmenu","false");[code]....
but this doesn't work either, in swf or standalone .exe.
I'm working in CS5, using AS2 on a Mac.I've built a presentation that requires the need to open pdf files in Acrobat Reader... as I have been building this on a Mac I simply used the geturl code which has been working a treat... today when I tested it on a PC it opened the file in a browser window!
I'm not really a coder and have to rely on finding bits online that I can tweak... after many hours I have fixed the pdf opening problem by using the fscommand method, but unfortunately when the pdf file is closed, my presentation (that was running fullscreen) has minimised itself to a window 100% to the original stage size!

My Stage size is 126*62. (it's a small animation).- When I publish the .SWF, no problem.- When I publish a projector .EXE file for windows, then, the width is still correct, but the height is higher than 62 : I got two small white bands beside top and bottom of my stage,see ?I don't understand why there's such a difference between publishing a SWF or EXE. And I'm afraid this also happens whatever the Stage size is (small or big, I mean) : you always get these blank bands on the top and the bottom, don't you ?
View 1 RepliesI have a flex application (.swf) and want to create a projector file. When I choose File-> create projector I get the .app file because I work on a Mac. I know I can create both projector formats for windows and mac using the export feature in Flash Professional. But this is not an option since it's Flex.Is there any other way rather than switching to windows to create the file?
View 1 RepliesEver since I`ve changed to flash cs4, every windows projector publish I make takes a really long time to open and play an animation.I`ts just very slow. When I created stuff on flash cs3, I had no problems running published projects.
Can anyone help me here? It`s just that I searched for a lot of forum questions just like mine on other web sites and none could . Since your the developers os this product I would like to see what you`ve got to say about this.
I have a Flash presentation I want to autorun in full screen mode. I set this using StageScaleMode.FULL_SCREEN, and it works fine if I run the swf file. However, the exe file opens a blank full screen, and only when I exit with ESC does it show the actual movie in a regular window.

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.

View 1 RepliesI have a projector published from Mac into two formats: Mac and Windows. The main movie loads an intro flv, and it has a button to skip which loads another swf.When I run the .app in MacOS, it works fine. The video is displayed and the button jumps to the mentioned swf. However, when running the .exe in Windows, no video is showed and the button does nothing.I think it's a path problem. I'm using relative ones, and have tried in all forms:
./video/myvideo.flv
/video/myvideo.flv
video/myvideo.flv

Am I able to publish a Windows/Macintosh projector from Flash Builder 4? I would like a solution that stays within the IDE, rather than having to open FlashPlayer.exe and export the EXE/App.
View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know of a flash projector 'project' or 'framework' that uses a new flashPlayer for each window?We've used mProjector, which works well to a point, but I'm very disappointed in the fileIO patterns they use. It is very buggy with regard to reading and writing files.
mdm zinc uses multiple windows, but it is all sits on one flashPlayer 'session'. The same applies for AIR. It is great, but there isn't a way to make each window run on a seperate flashPlayer... extreme number crunching on one window will lock up all other windows.
edit - Just to clarify my needs (since I'm adding a little bounty), the app is an ERP application, built on Flex 3.x, and the size and scope of the project == huge.
tl;dr -- I need an exe wrapper (for windows), similar to AIR, that can have multiple windows, running each window on a seperate flashPlayer instance, and when a window is closed, it blows-away that flashPlayer instance / stage / etc.
how to create a contact form that could sent an email running in a windows projector (.exe) from a cd rom?

View 1 RepliesI have a Flash projector (.exe) file which load some images from local hard drive and move them.

View 5 RepliesI have this project that requires opening pdf's in acrobat reader that needs to be burned on a CD ROM as a self contained EXE. So I am designing this in flash with buttons that will open pdf's, then I'm exporting this as a swf and importing that into Director and then exporting it as an exe. Why you ask... it seems when I export the flash file as an exe, it needs flash player installed to open the exe. This project needs to be burned on a cd rom and as a stand alone player that will open pdf's in reader.
So my question; Is there an easier way to do this? and How? 2nd, what is the code to open a pdf file from a flash swf/projector in (A.) Acrobat reader or (B.) explorer.
