I need to run a batch file which needs to execute a local windows program.
How can I call that batch file insides AS3?
I found the following command online, but it doesn't work for me.
Code:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "skynet.bat");
}
The .bat file is in the same folder AND has an edited copy in a folder called "fscommands", both of which work. The problem is in the flash file. I attached the code to a button (of course), but when I click it nothing happens.
I created a fla file, which contains multi-layer movie clip. When I double-click the the flash movie, something funny is happening - there pops up another window, which is windows explorer, and it is showing the directory oin which the flash movie file is situated. And if I close the flash movie and double click it again - another windows explorer pops up.

View 2 RepliesI'm building an Air app that uses an .app/.exe file as a bridge to hardware devices.
Ideally, I would like to include the executable with the Air app installer and launch the external program together with the Air app.
How do decide which OS specific file to launch?
EDIT: OK, the above wasn't very difficult:
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory;
file = file.resolvePath("src/assets/NativeApps");
if (Capabilities.os.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1) {

So we have some web-based training that we are making. Using CS4 to publish to Flash 7 and then the page is running in IE 6. (Got to love them corporate policies!) We have some resource documents for the users to download. Usually we make them pdfs and use getURL() and the files work just fine. However, this time we have a file that we want to keep as a .doc type. The code is:

View 3 RepliesTrying to set up a getURL to link to a local htm file, NOT a page on the internet. All the tutorials I have read tell me how to link to a file on the internet I'm trying to set up an intranet site for my training college where students can access training resources etc on the local network. Therefore my getURL needs to point to a local file, not one on the internet. I'm trying to link to a .htm file that resides on my computer. Does the htm file have to be in the same folder as the .fla file?? How do I do this?? I'm working on a Mac, Os X, MX 2004, if that makes any difference.

View 2 RepliesI am a newbie to Flash and ActionScript 3.0 platform. I don't know whether this is the correct place to post this kind of queries/problems/issues here. Till now, I had posted only basic flash issues here in this forum. I feel this is the most powerful issue which created head-ache to me till now. I spent nearly 4 hours working with this issue. But, I don't find any solution even in google.I have created a swf file, which when gets executed, gets data from backend database and displays as items in Combo-box. In swf file, if we select an item from Combo-box, collects data from database and gets back to flash and displays them as items in Combo-box. Each item has a specific image(.jpg file)associated,which gets displayed on stage of flash file(.swf file) upon selected from combo-box.
I am calling/invoking the flash file, When I click on a Button/select a tab created within my Java application.But,when the button gets clicked/tab gets selected, Combo-box is visible in flash file, but with no elements when we try to click upon it and the following error is getting displayed in a dialog-box:Title of the error is: An action-script error has occured.[URL]
I'm stuck with defining a getURL function while loading an external XML file.
I have a Flash AS2.0 file and I've made it CMS driven. The content for everything in the SWF file is loaded from an XML file which resides on the same server. I've defined all other XML variables and I'm able to successfully parse them inside a holder MC I have in my Flash file. Some of the many variables I have are name, caption, thumbnail img, large img, etc... I've also defined the XML file with a 'Link' that points to a URL relative to each image it loads.
I'm unable to define the function in Flash to retrieve the URL from 'Link' parsing value stored in my XML file.
I tried defining a function called getLink in actions layer of my Flash file:
getLink = function () {
getURL('Link[ID]','_blank');
};
The ID is loaded in the beginning of the Flash file - based on the number of values available in XML file. All other functions work, except this getURL function.
I need to have a button load it's GetURL() deal from an external file. XML? Txt?
View 2 RepliesIs there a work around to the getURL Firefox issue? I am having trouble getting Firefox to open my file from my exe when FF is set to my default browser. If FF is already open, the getURL functions fine. If FF is closed, I have to click on my button twice in order to open the file (ie, click once opens a blank window, click again and the file opens) I have FF 2.0.0.1, Flash MX 2004 Prof. I have tried setting an interval to have the getURL fire again but I can't seem to get it to work.

View 1 RepliesI'm currently making an animation which will eventually exceed the 16,000 frame limit (don't ask haha), so, short of making two movies and having to just start up the next one, what is the code for loading a movie? I presume they need to be in the same directory? So basically all I want is on the last frame of the movie the code executes and the second movie file opens up and starts. I guess I'd want the current movie to close, too.

Would I be able to get that function executed in the Flash application?
I've created a new symbol - button type. Then created a single frame in a time-line, put my button there and put a simple code into frame[code]...
View 3 Repliesscripting for holding a button down and having the action take place once.So thing is, I have code for pressing a button (which is the up arrow button)This was suppose to show the animation for someone shooting constantly until released:
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)){ fox.gotoAndPlay(16); deploy.gotoAndPlay(2); trace("Pressed."); }
Unfortunetly the results are:Holding down the up key places out "Pressed." constantly instead of once.fox.gotoAndPlay(16) stays on 16 rather progressing the animation (to which should come back to 16 at a repeated process)deploy.gotoAndPlay(2) plays a sound but before: the sound played constanlty rather once) recently: sound never playsI also need code that prevents the player from moving when holding down the up arrow key.So in total, I want the player to be able to hold the up key, and everything executed is played once until pressed agan after release.I heard about adding listeners:
var myListener:Object = new Object(); myListener.onKeyDown = function() { KEY = Key.getCode(); if (!this[KEY]) { trace("You pressed "+KEY); } this[KEY] = true; }; myListener.onKeyUp = function() { KEY = Key.getCode(); trace("You released a key."+KEY); this[KEY] = false; }; Key.addListener(myListener);
but I can't understand this technobabble and everytime I try to work it, it only puts error outputs.
Am trying to read PHP files using AS3. the problem is, I need to get the .php files trough "http" protocol. When I call the file directly, the php script is shown instead of its result.[code]...
View 1 RepliesHow do I execute an Adobe Air app & pass arguments from Flex ?
View 2 RepliesWe have a web-framework with Flex and Java, whose basic functionality is to execute commands at the background(Unix) and parse and send it back to the client(Flex). This works fine for all silent commands.
We are using Runtime,process to execute commands at java side on request from flex side. The same we need to do for interactive commands/scripts as well.
