but now when i am going to mac os then this code is not working. means file is not open so how can i open file in mac using this codes.
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.
View 3 RepliesI could succesfully open a external pdf with the following command in Flash cs3 on a Mac: fscommand("exec", "test.app");test.app (inside an fscommand folder) is an apple script that opens the pdf inside the fscommand folder, to make it work I needed to copy the fscommand folder into the MacOs Folder of the Mac Projector File. The same steps don't seem to work with Flash cs5. I can't downgrade my cs5 project to cs3.Is this problem a bug in Flash cs5?

View 2 Replieswhy the below line of code launches notepad.exe twice?
fscommand("execfile", '"C:\Windows\Notepad.exe"'); //opens notepad 2x - path in double quotes
verses this line of code which opens it only once?
fscommand("execfile", "C:\Windows\Notepad.exe"); //opens notepad once
I'm working on a FP10 .exe projector project and noticed this odd behavior.If I had spaces in my file path, I'd want to surround it in double quotes, but that has the undesired effect of opening the app 2x.Since I don't have full control over all the elements in the project, I'm forced to use fscommand in this scenario.
with AS2, we use fscommand to do it, but AS 3 I don't know how to do ..

I am quite a newbie and want to call another program through fscommand.Flash and the programm I want to call are both running on my hard disk (NOT online)I do not really understand what I have to put into:
1. the line command
2. the line parameters
When publishing a mac projector (app) from Flash CS3 on PC,in order to use the fscommand("exec", appToLaunch) function, itseems as though the fscommand folder containing appToLaunch must berelative to the "Flash Player" app in the projector package. For example, if I create a mac projector called projector.appwhich calls fscommand("exec", "myOtherProjector"), and I putmyOtherProjector in the fscommand folder in the same directory,sitting next to projector.app - when I fun the projector thefscommand fails.
However, if I move the fscommand folder containingmyOtherProjector to the Contents>MacOS folder in the app folder(on mac right click, go to "show package contents"), next to "FlashPlayer" then run projector.app, the fscommand works and everythingis good.It looks to me like the fscommand folder needs to be relativeto the Flash Player and not to the projector. This means that the contents of the fscommand folder need tobe doubled on cross-platform projects. That's not good when you'repushing the limits of file space on a cd
I've done all of these and everything is ok. but I want to do more. I want to play my flash in a web browser and I used publish to html. but my fscommand doesn't work in the web browser! what should I do?
View 8 RepliesI am working on putting a portfolio on CD and would like to include a video. The video I want to be played by windows media player, but I seem to be missing something. I have a button and have put this code on it...
on(release){
fscommand("exec", "c://Temp.mplayer2.exe");
}
I have tried multipe variations of this code but nothing happens.
The project is a keyframe based presentation and I'm an actionscript novice. It is to run, full screen, as an executable off a CD ROM and there are 4 .flvs in the executable. Here is my code for the first frame which contains opening video, and it works fine (sadly a simple fscommand fullscreen from as2 won't work). Problem is, I get black screens & weirdness when I try to use stageDisplayState and fullScreenTakeOver's on the frames that contain the other 3 videos.
[CODE]...
What happen is that i have a quit button and when it is clicked:
fscommand("quit"); will execute.
However for some reason, it only works sometime and at other time, it has no effect.
So, anyway, this is the code:
In the menu:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.ui.Mouse;

I'm making a flash movie project, the stage size is 600x800. When I use fscommand to make the flash projector fullscreen it shows everything, including out of stage things. How do I get the projector to only show the stage Fullscreen? PS: An answer in AS 3.0 would be fine to! As 2 is preferable!
View 1 Repliesi was playing with the fscommand for a few times now but i havent made the exec command execute a file(in a subfolder)... a directory with a movie and a folder with sample exec file

View 2 RepliesDetermine if Mac or PC within a flash projector? (for use with FSCommand) How do I determine if a computer is Mac or PC within a flash projector? I need this because I've got several FSCommands I need to use within a projector (such as launching an application or file) and need to have different commands for Mac and PC.
[Code]....
Basically I'm trying to use fscommand to open programs outside of the flashplayer. This I thought would be pretty simple but apparently not.Here is the actionscript I've already tried:
Code:
on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "C:UsersMattDocumentsflashMTRXfscommandpin.bat");
}
on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "fscommandpin.bat");
}
on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "pin.bat");
}
But guess what, on release nothing seems to happen.The SWF file is in the folder "MTRX". I'm using Flash MX 2004. This is what the BAT file is:
Code:
@echo off
start PinballBot.exe
When I open it from windows explorer that works.
I published my fla as scorm 1.2 tracking. I ziped up my files and loaded to lms. It will not write the score. It runs and functions ok but does not write score.
fscommand ("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.score.min,0");
fscommand ("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.score.max,100");
fscommand ("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.score.raw,85");

One, does this work on vista? I am running vista so that may be why its not working.
Two, I also heard rumors about it not working in IE7 or higher, is that true?
Three, I also have read that it only works when running the swf file in flash projector, is that true?
We are working on a 3rd party application build on Adobe Flash technology to render business dashboards.This application does'nt offer us to generate the whole code rather it's just a drag n drop of charts, text boxes etc components, and then mapping of data. After all of customizing, the application itself generates an SWF file finally.
What our requirement is we need to make our dashboard(a falsh file) to write a chunk of data, eneterd by user, back into our database by a user action, like a button click. (Access, MySQL, Oracle or any). Now our application offers the FSCOMMAND function call wherein we can enter the command name and args.
Now we need to use this FSCOMMAND function to write back to databases because we believe this is the only option with us within our app. What is the command to write back to a database, and then the arguments. Also, do we need to write any JAVA/VB script for that. Please be informed that our application itself generates the whole SWF file code..all HTML coding. {e.g as we include queryparam, "mapped data", using FSCOMMAND, i can see the whole code generated by the app, the HTML code, wherein I could see embedded Java Script with DO_FScommand statament carrying this queryparam command and args..etc.}
Kindly show us the way to acheive this crucial requirement of ours. We are looking for very elaborative answers as we have less expertise with scripts.

how does one close a browser window using the FSCommand. The normal 'quit' option works only closes a projector file. But i need to close a browser window.
I hear there is some technical javascript wizadry which allows one to do this.
Is there a fscommand that allow the resize of the projector window? Or that send a kind of event to the window itself that make the window "blinking" in the task bar (like when you are receiving a message in MSN and your window in minimized)?

View 1 RepliesI have two projects that use this same piece of code ...
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonClick);
function mybuttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
fscommand("exec","myApp.exe")
}
When I publish the older project I get zero errors but for some reason the same code gives me this error in my new project ...
"Warning: 1060: Migration issue: The method fscommand is no longer supported. Moved to flash.system package. Also, please see flash.external.External.Interface class for Javascript/ActionScript communication."
I am confused why this problem is inconsistent across two projects that both use it. If fscommand is no longer supported shouldn't I get an error on the older project? I am using CS4 and AS3 for both projects. I added another piece of code to the new project on frame 1 that mirrors the older project and I get the same error ...
fscommand("showmenu", "false");
