I created a swf movie which contains a button with this action:
[Code]...
then i published this movie to an *.exe program (projector). In it's folder i've created another folder named 'extra', which contains program 'start1.exe'. but program 'start1.exe' doesn't load, when i click the button.. is there something i don't know?
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 calling some processing sketches(java exe) from as3
Code:
btngametwo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,btngametwoClick);
function btngametwoClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (btnLockOut == 0)
[Code].....
using a bat I get the command window up for a few secs--I do not want that
but I need to have each sketch in a subfolder in "fscommand " folder--if I do not use subfolders I can not have multible games.....anyway I can not seem to use a path to the .exe in the fscommand line that works
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 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 6 RepliesI 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.

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 wanted to use navigateToURL function for "mailto:..." adress, but nothing happens, even if if changed it to [URL] adress. Also debugger doesn't activate it.I tested it in browser, completely nothing happens. There's the code, works without any "addons":

View 6 RepliesI have a flv that is loading from a subdirectory off my flash swf.Everything works fine when I load the video from [url].....However, when i start the video from mysite.com, the video is not located.What can i do to remedy this?

myVidDirectory/myvideo.flv
should I use a different path?
I'm programming a dinamic flash/xml website. up until now I've kept the info for the menus and the one for the gallery (the site has a gallery that displays both text and images) in separate xml files. but I'm trying to make all of it work out of a single xml file. I've managed to make the menus and the gallery all go get the info correctly to the xml (text and images), but then I came up with a problem that jeopardizes the whole show: a path inside the xml's onLoad function refuses to work! the code that bears the function has to be placed into the same clip as the clips that contain the text fields to wich info will be passed or it won't do a thing.
supose this is my actionscript code:
Code:
var contentSubMenu = new XML();
contentSubMenu.ignoreWhite = true;
contentSubMenu.load("example.xml");
[code]....
no information is passed to that clip. If the path targets that clip one should expect it to, right? even if all this code is placed on _root, right? well, it doesn't happen...I tried tracing for info that comes from the xml, but nothing is displayed in the output window.
I've attached a zip file that contains a fla file, an xml file, a txt file with the full chunk of actionscript code and the fonts you'll be needing should you decide to take a look (they're only two).
The fla file has been built in the following manner:
_on the right side, the clips that hold the text fields to wich the contentSubMenu.onLoad function will pass info to are directly placed upon _root (so, following the code example from above, it would be like having var buttonList = _root;)
_on the left side, the clips that hold the text fields are down into buttonListSlide_mc and the contentSubMenu.onLoad function is there as well, only commented so it doesn't display anything.
So, I'm using this Path Class to make a path and then draw it. I'm having a problem where there are some positions that I draw the path, the entire line does not draw.You can see an example of this here as the dot moves. The line flashes at a few coordinates. Just a small concept example I made. The path is there, it's just not being drawn.
The code :
Code:
import com.senocular.drawing.Path;
// create a path instance that draws in _root
var myPath:Path = new Path();
[code].....
I am a weird problem when an swf file is communicating with the localhost server. the application runs perfectly well through the flash player of the compiler. however, when I try to execute it through the browser - it seems as if the application doesn't connect to the localhost path at all.

View 3 Repliesthe same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.
