I have a directory that contains a .swf and assets. What I would like to do is put all of these in a folder and then have the projector outside of this folder.
So the projector would basically launch the swf that is within the assets folder from outside of it.
I do not have access to an .fla for this project.

1) Is there any way to create windowless non-fullscreen projector with Flash CS3?
2) Or even better "masked" projector applications (where the window will be able to take any shape depending on a mask, and not only rectanlge shape)?
3) Or at least any way to change the title of the projector's window? ...
Or we are "doomed" with every non-fullscreen projector application to suffer from the "Adobe Flash Player 9" window title?.... :/...
I am trying to create .txt file dynamically from a Flash projector exe on to the local system for a game, Wherein the score and the players name should be stored.I have tried using the Loadvariable POST method to no avail. CAn anyone please help me through with this problem.

I have a flex application (.swf) and want to create a projector file. When I choose File-> create projector I get the .app file because I work on a Mac. I know I can create both projector formats for windows and mac using the export feature in Flash Professional.

View 1 RepliesI used to make fullscreen Flash websites, using 100x100 width/height and "No Scale" on Publish Settings.Everything is ok on a browser, since I can position elements using relative coordinates for liquid layouts.Now I have to make a fullscreen standalone .exe projector.To get fullscreen I use fscommand("fullscreen", "true") on the first frame and it works.
The problem is:If I create a 1024x768 Flash movie, even with 100x100 and "No Scale" activated, the movie remains at 1024x768.So, if I trace stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight, those remain respectively at "1024" and "768", but I need for the movie to get the max width and max height available on the system.
In the browser it happens automatically, but in the Flash projector it doesn't. how can I get the movie to match the exact size of the screen where it runs?I've tried with Capabilities.screenResolutionX and Y but there is no way (and I think it's normal) to set the stage.width and stage.height properties on runtime.
The problem is when I publish it, the SWF version works fine on the Mac, and the PC EXE version runs fine on a PC, but the Mac Projector doe not. When I double-click the icon, it opens the Flash player (red square with the "f" in it) showing the name of my Projector in the dock, but nothing happens.It is not hung, I can go through the menu items at the top of the screen for the flash player, it just isn't loading the project for some reason.
View 1 RepliesI have read several posts where people discuss TOPMOST and SWF Studio as options for keeping applications running in the top of the z order.
My question is: Is there a way to create a projector that always stays on top (e.g. even if a windows update occurs) without purchasing SWF Studio? As I understand TOPMOST is only for launched applications, not for the application itself.
make something appear on the monitor/screen of a computer or laptop, but have a projector ignore it? I've seen it done before in presentations where the speaker has "cue cards" on the laptop screen, but these don't get projected so they remain hidden from the audience.
View 1 RepliesI am still running Flash MX (04). Because I find flash a little more useable than other progs, I am using it to create a presentation. I am creating a project that I intend to only use as a standalone SWF (not uploadable to a site or anything). I intend to play the SWF full screen on a laptop and output to an LCD projector as a presentation. I have the stage set at 1024 x 768 and am using movie clips imported/embedded (which arent the full 1024x768 but slightly smaller ), text, photo's and audio. I am nearly 2/3rds the way through and the SWF file size is growing (currently at 16 meg). I expect it to be in the region of 90 meg + or so as some audio yet to be loaded and still photos are quite size heavy. Is there any way i can get the audio to sound a little clear as when the SWF is published the sound seems to lose a little quality in the compression. Also, what is the maximum size you would recommend a standalone SWF in this scenario should/could be?

I've made an applescript that works, and have it in the "fscommand" folder.
However, I can't get the Flash projector to launch it. I'm using this code on a button;

It's a disk image. I can't work out why it doesn't work and it is driving me insane.

I use a variable (say x) in all the flash files i create. And then i create projector of these files..Now I wanna create another flash file, that will read whats the value of x directly from the projector.In x, i store some kinda password, or something like that,which i dont want to show the user... And this x unlocks the full capacity of the program, like some master control... And also every one of the file has different password...So, there is a probability that i may forget the password... So i am attempting to create some type of extractor/cracker to get this password (value of x).[code]
abc is the file which from which i want to extract the value of x.. This code loads abc.swf into the movie clip (whose name is z) at the root level.The x in the extractor takes the value of x from the loaded movie, and then displays it later... I cant figure how to get this working with my exe(s)??
I recently was assigned to make an interactive CD using Flash. However, there is some content that needs to be downloaded, or loaded from the CD such as .jpg's, pdf's, .doc's. I've looked at some ways to do it, such as batch files to load files, but the instructions were unclear to me. (I also work on a Mac and need this to be cross-platform) Also, the content cannot be loaded to the web and use a getURL command. The client wants the user to be able to download or load it from the CD by the click of a button.
View 2 RepliesI have been doing tests to make sure my interactive cd works correctly on all computers, however, I have run into a problem with the Flash Mac Projector. It seems that on one mac the file requires unziping before being used? On another mac the computer cannot open it, simply ignoring clicks on the file.I am publishing the file on a pc, and the winzip icon appears next to the mac .hqx projector file, would this create a problem?

Basically, all I want is a thing where:a user puts in a CD-ROMopens the projectorclicks a button and the user's browser goes to the specified web pageThis works fine on a PC projector. On a Mac, it never opens the page. It seems like the Mac puts the focus on the default browser program, but never goes to the URL.

I swear, this problem alone is the toughest issue I've ever had to figure out with Flash.Let me explain... You created a preloader to show a loading external swf's bytes loaded, which is to be placed in a empty movieclip once fully loaded.Your overall size for your fla.is around 40 mb. Create a windows projector.exe and the loader doesn't work, the movie loads but you don't see a loader. I've exhausted every possible solution I can think of.
