View 2 RepliesI'm developing an AIR application in Flash Builder (Flex) and I needed the option to communicate with a serial port on the computer. I want to be able to launch serproxy.exe when my application runs. I've tried two methods, and neither of them are working for me.First method:
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("assets/serproxy.exe");
file.openWithDefaultApplication();
This proceeds to open the program, but then immediately closes it. No errors are thrown.Second method:
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("assets/serproxy.exe");
var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;

Is there a way to launch an Adobe Air Application from the browser? I am developing an application that uses webcam, and when the user enter on my site, I need to start this adobe air application installed on the user computer.
View 3 RepliesSo 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?

View 2 RepliesI have tried to make a kind of terminal application that does the following things (in the corresponding order):
1. Dynamically makes two text boxes on the stage (output and input)
2. Types the welcome message to the user in a typewriter-like effect
3. A text field for input then moves to the end of the text field for output
4. A cursor starts to blink in the input text field
I get 2 errors of the same code: 1120. It is because of my blinkRect function. (It adds and removes the rectangle from the stage, creating a cursor effect.) It uses the commands addChild(blink) and removeChild(blink) after the rectangle has been added to the stage. But, from the looks of the flash error, it seems as if the ActionScript engine parses this code before making the rectangle. I don't understand this, as I have not programmed it this way.Here's my code (and there's nothing on the stage, so just pasting it into a frame should exactly replicate my problem):
Code:
// IMPORT CLASSES
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;[code]...
Does anybody know of an existing Flex component that does VT500 terminal emulation? We are gradually replacing terminal-based user interfaces with an AIR-based GUI.We would like to have a terminal emulator embedded in that new AIR GUI, in order to give our users an integrated user experience when navigating between our old and new software.Emulation of other VT-series terminals than the VT500 could also be usefull.Btw, I'm not interested in writing it myself (nor having it written for me) because it would only be a nice-to-have in our software architecture.

View 5 RepliesI'm getting a PreloadSwf when launching my flash application in my browser.
The error message is: PreloadSwf paths must be local trusted: [bogus_path]
It's referencing a file that doesn't exist in a directory that doesn't exist. I've seen some posts on the web about how to configure PreloadSwf via mm.cfg, but my mm.cfg doesn't reference any path (just sets log levels).
How do I tell Flash Player to skip this preloadswf so I can launch my app?
I use Flash Air to develop iOS games. It would be nice to be able to launch a browser from within your applications.

View 1 Repliesi need to be able to launch pdf files from a .exe off a cd. simple enough. the problem starts here.... when i wiew the movie using .swf or .exe some images shift a tiny bit and then shif back during some of the animations. (god knows why but it dosent look great) when viewing the movie over a browser however there is no such problem. i would like to launch a browser window with no toolbars and such fit to the flash movie that can launch pdf's. again, i can launch the .exe from the cd and furthermore launch the pdf's but some images shift for some reason.. is there anyway possible to get around the security features in flash that wont allow you to launch a local file from a .swf file?

View 6 Repliesi am trying to get lightwindow to launch from my script in as3. i have some thumbnails that are generated via xml - and when clicked the thumbnail opens a url in a new window.i want it to open in the lightwindow box instead.this is the as that i have on my thumbnails
PHP Code:
function p_click(me:MouseEvent)
{
var loader : Loader = new Loader (); [code].....
i am really struggling with this - i have also dropped the swf into html doc for lightwindow and the html links - open the lightwindow up perfectly but the swf doesn't want to know.has anyone managed to get this working before? or know of good points of reference to make it work from a flash button/xml.there is no support on the stickman site - lots of config info - but not for flash?
Let's say the Flash doc is set up in the form of a webpage. Then I have 5 buttons on the left. Now, I have another Flash banner at the top of the page.I'd like each button to launch a different animation within that top container upon clicking.I'm having trouble getting the script to work. Someone told me to put the script on the timeline of the actual main webpage - not attach to the buttons (which I find odd) I haven't used ActionScript in years!Oh, and I placed a stop action in the first frame of each animation movie clip so that they won't auto-play when the page gets uploaded to the web.
View 5 RepliesI seem to remember that to debug in 8 you have the file open you wanted to play with and then went to "debug" then the UI would change to Debug mode and a swf would popup.
I'm in cs4 and trying to debug a simple 3 line trace statement and when I hit "debug" it changes to "debug mode" and I can move through breakpoints and see variables and stuff. However, it doesn't open a swf (so I can actually see the actual FILE) until the END of the program has run.
I assume it is supposed to open the SWF as soon as I hit "debug"
I have had Flash CS5 since it came out, I have updated the program regularly.When I open Flash it gives me the Unexpected File Format Error. Even though I am not opening any files.

However, when choosing Debug > Debug Movie, the debugger launches (or at least the empty AS 3.0 debugger panels are displayed), but I receive the message "Debugger launch failed. Debug session will terminate.". Click OK and the debugger closes.
