I was wondering if there was a way to launch an external .swf from within the playing .swf?
I don't want the other swf to be inside of the currently playing one (like with the UILoader, I want it to be running as a completely separate instance of flash.
So I read through Kirupa's XML/Flash thumbnail gallery tutorial and have since modified some of its actionscripting to display my online design portfolio. How do I make it so that 'LAUNCH PROJECT' is a link? Here is the modified Actionscripting (I have one of each for the 3 sections):
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;[code]....
As you can see at the bottom of the actionscript, I added a gotoURL action, hoping that simply by making <launch> read <launch action="gotoURL" variables="http:url...> that it would become a link. I, however, have had no such luck. Perhaps I have to add something more. How do I make it so that <launch></launch> has the ability to link to an URL?
I've been developing a Flash application that will be running on a touch screen monitor installed in a hospital. The touch screen is run by a Windows machine. I'm afraid I don't know much about the Windows world. I'd like to have my Flash application launch in Flash Player every time the cpu is rebooted so the client never has to worry about manually doing it.

View 1 RepliesI've created an AIR application in Flash CS4 with AS3, and the application needs to start up as fullscreen. I put a slight delay on the fullscreen call to get around the fact that flash won't let you start an application in fullscreen. This works fine on windows. However, on Mac, my application has an issue...
It uses this code to go fullscreen on startup: var fullscreen_delay:Timer=new Timer(10,1);// delay to bypass flash's non-fullscreen-on-startup feature
[Code]...
Putting a ridiculously long delay on the fullscreen call (5000 milliseconds) seems to do the trick. I realized this when I launched the application and immediately started mashing the space bar (my fullscreen toggle key), which kept presenting me with the same issue until after 3 or 4 seconds, at which point the fullscreen began working properly.

View 3 RepliesI'm totally new to flash, and I'm trying to build a very simple app. I have one as file in which I defined my class which inherent from Sprite, with the name mySprite. I have a fla which is of the mySprite class, and a size of 400x400(I must assign a size when define the fla). my question is, when this flash is launched, I want to read some data from outside (width&height) and change the flash windows size to these specified size. I tried many ways, but can't succeed. Every time the flash is launched, window size is 400x400.

View 5 RepliesI have a windows media video which I have converted to flash video, that I would like to have users play through on my webpage - and then after the video is completed, it would open another webpage automatically in a new window.
After looking through the web I can't find a way to do this, but it seems like it would be something that could be done. I have converted my windows video to flash format, embedded it on my stage and am ready to add action script. I know how to make the video a
button so that users would click on the video and then it would open a page, but I was hoping there would be a way that it could do
this automatically.
At the end of my movie I want to launch a URL that loads up another Flash movie. In the past I would use something like getURL("[URL]"); how to perform this task in Actionscript 3?
View 3 RepliesI recently installed Adobe Flash Builder 4 in standalone mode on a new installation of Windows 7 x64.I can load and build an existing Flex 4.1 project I have been working on, but when I go to run the project in the browser (Firefox 3.6.15), I get:'Launching BensApp' has encountered a problem. An internal error occurred during: 'Launching BensApp'
Clicking the Details >> button reveals:
java.lang.NullPointerException
My project is creating the SWF and container HTML page as expected, but fails to load the browser.
I have a flash application in which there is a button. On clicking that button, a pps file should play. What I did is published the flash file in a projector format (.exe), created a folder named 'fscommand' and put the pps file inside that folder, and tried to launch the file lying inside that folder from this flash file by using following codes:
on (release) { fscommand ("exec", "file.pps"); }
Another way I tried which I found is:created a .bat file named launch.bat, put it in that folder & tried to launch the pps file via this .bat file using following codes:
Actionscript code:
on (release) { fscommand ("exec", "launch.bat"); }
'launch.bat' file code:
START "file.pps"
But still it's not working.

View 1 RepliesI'm making an interactive cd in flash, I'm wondering how I can prompt the user with a way of saving video files (.mp4) to their computers.
Ideally they would click on a 'download video' button and then would be prompted with the usual window allowing them to choose where to save the file and name it.
Is there a way to do this within flash?
I've been using fscommand to launch files, can it be used to save files as well?

View 1 RepliesHow does Adobe Flash launch auto-update message as soon as I logon on Windows? I thought Flash is only a browser plugin. I tried look for the program it runs, but can't find it in all the usual places: Start Up group in Start Menu, HKLM Run, HKCU Run, Services.
I know it is possible to disable this via Flash preferences. However, I need to remove it mechanically once and for all, because it seems like a security risk to me (as hackers would be able to exploit a Flash installation even if the browser has not been launched).
how to open a PDF in Flash CS5 that will launch into a popup browser window. In CS3/CS4 I used the "geturl" command and it worked perfect. In CS5, the geturl command always wants to open a url (ex. [URL]) instead of a local file on my drive. Is there any way around this to make it work like the older versions of Flash? Basically stop it from trying to launch the [URL]?
