can somebody explain me a little bit fscommand exec function I created a folder fscommand and put some exe and succedded to run it but in other folders above it with ../ and subfolders I couldn't get it to run exe files
View 6 RepliesWhen 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 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

I need to pass a parameter from fscommand. Is is possible ?Following is flash and batch file [code]...
I normally do a CD for a convention twice a year, and this year was different. As usual things gets down to the very last minute with changes, but normally we don't encounter any problems with the opening of powerpoint presentations from within a flash, with the fscommand, as long as all the presentations and software are on the fscommand folder.
But yesterday I just couldn't make it work. I thought at first that was a vista thing, that wont let you run a cmd.exe window from flash, but then I realized it was happening, even after burning the CD in almost any enviroment. I tried changing the publishing parameters to flash player 7, 8 and 9, and try to publish it with action script 1 and action script 2 in all the possible combinations. Then i got smart and republished one I knew that worked, and it stop working.

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?

I am using loadClip to load some jpg into flash. I am using IIS as webserver to test the application. The problem is that the images placed in subsubfolder are not being loaded! Example:
images in "allpics" are loaded
images in "allpicsimages1" are not loaded
that is, only images in the FIRST subfolder are loaded..why? I have enabled "Directory Listing" to all folder and I have granted all permissions in IIS.
Code:

var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(loadListener);

FMS Question about streaming from a mounted folder which has sub-folders: I have an FMS running with the following configuration:1. App named video ( duplicated as per instructions here: http://bit.ly/bgGRUI)2. VirtualDirectory set as follows[code]...
1. Player unable to play the video2. Server sees a hit but nothing streams ( see 0 bytes sreamed from log file).Since it is local, I am right now focusing on FMS, and avoiding - firewall issues ( I will have to open ports 1935, 1111 and 8134 eventually)- folder access issues ( same host: although I need to be able to mount remote folders eventually)
This problem has drive me nut for the last 2 days and i couldn't figure out what was wrong. I created an HTML page with Dreamweaver CS5 that has a small Flash file. It plays correctly in my local computer but after i upload the file on the server, it couldn't play the Flash movie. I tried paste the link of the movie file into the browser and it works fine. But when i type in the page web address the page is displayed but couldn't see the Flash movie.
1)Do i have to change the setting to play Flash in the server?
2)Could be this Java Script : "AC_FL_RunContent" ?
3) I uploaded this Java Script file "AC_RunActiveContent.js" same directory with the html file but no luck.
I have two swf files, one is swf1 and other is swf2, swf2 is very complicated application, it has code in Document Class. I am trying to load swf2 in swf1 through flash.display.Loader class, it loads properly but when it completes half execution of its code, it gives following error and gets stuck there. ArgumentError: Error #2180: It is illegal to move AVM1 content (AS1 or AS2) to a different part of the displayList when it has been loaded into AVM2 (AS3) content. I have tried much to find out the solution on google but no avail.

Where JPGS2.app is an applescript which resides DIRECTLY inside the fscommand folder the following WORKS:
Code:
on (release) {
butt1.onPress = function(){
fscommand("exec", "openJPGS2.app");
}
}
Where JPGS2.app is an applescript which resided inside the folder "scripts_apl" inside the fscommand folder the following DOES NOT WORK:
Code:
butt1.onPress = function(){
fscommand("exec", ":scripts_apl:openJPGS2.app");
}
The same is true if just for kicks I put ":fscommand" in front of the path. Can I assumer therefore, that the EXEC commond does not allow for nested folders even inside the "fscommand" folder even though Macromedia documentation says otherwise? I know that was an older reference. It is really important that I get a sub folder. I have some 40 applescripts and PC scripts that I will need to run, and I would really prefer them to be tucked nicely away in a folder.
I have one swf file in that i used fscommand to get final output when submit button clicked in that swf i am loading that swf in SWFloader in flex3 .i need to get fscommand value as Alert, how to get that value first and display as alert.
View 2 Replieswhy the below line of code launches notepad.exe twice?

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.
I have a project that opens a pdf using fscommand.
