Flash :: FS Command

AS3 - After Command Another Command That Starts A Jump To A Specific Frame
Hi everyone,

I am a newbie using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 3.0. I have spent hours looking through forums and found no answer to my problem. Maybe it is because it's not possible but I just wanted to see if an expert can help me out.

I have a button and a few animations. Basically when I click the button I want to say: "When you are pressed down I want you to play at this specific frame for this many frames and then jump to a specific frame and play on there."

wrong code until now:

btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,go1);

function go1(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("frame10");
}

if (you get to "frame 15"){
then gotoAndPlay("frame5")
}

Any help would be very much appreciated!

FS Command,how To Catch FS Command Using Javascript Not In Vbscript
Hi,

I'm modifying a flash.... and flash uses FS Command.

can you help me catch the fs command in javascript code?? because what I have is the vbscript code, and it does not work on some browsers.

here's the vbscript code(the problem)that calls the function:

PHP Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">

</SCRIPT>

here is the other part of the script in the page ...javascript code(works fine):

PHP Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
function mainmenu_DoFSCommand(command, args)
{
if (command == "showAd")
{
if (document.layers){
daMenu = document.layers[args];
}
else if (document.all){
daMenu = document.all(args).style;
}
daMenu.visibility = visible;
}

if (command == "hideAd")
{
if (document.layers){
daMenu = document.layers[args];
}
else if (document.all){
daMenu = document.all(args).style;
}
daMenu.visibility = hidden;
}
}
</script>

my problem is to pass the arguments in using javascript(not vbscript) so that it will work on others browsers.

other options is to modify more the vbscript so that it will work on more other browsers...

but I dont know anything about vbscript and only basic javascript...

need help thanks a lot in advance.

FS Command And Get URL
I have just purchased Flash 4 last week, so I am a newbie, so please bear with me.

I would like to create an auto run CD using the flash projector programme. I know how to create an auto run for a CD, my problem is the following.

I have three buttons in my movie:-

1. To view a PDF index file of a CD
2. To install Acrobat Reader from a CD
3. To exit the installation programme.

I can get buttons 2 and 3 to work using the FS command however I cannot get button one to work. I have tried using (Get URL "index.pdf",window="_blank") however this launches IE5 and runs Acrobat from within. I donot want this!¿! I cannot use the FS command to locate the EXE file, as the installation for Acrobat will be in a different location on different machines.

Is there a way of running the index.pdf file straight into Acrobat Reader without having to launch Internet Explorer?

X,y Hit Command
I have built a drop down menu with inertia so that it is springy when the user opens and closes it. At the moment I have been using invisable buttons to open and close on(release) and on(MouseOut) The problem is that I want to keep the menu open when the user rolls over other linked buttons in the menu but as soon as the user places the cursor over one of these the menu closes as the actionscript thinks its outside the parameters

I want to use the x,y properties to open and close the boxes but havent got the first idea of how to achieve this, Im thinking with an if statement. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Is there any other ways of invoking a similar procedure? I use the command to send data from a text field in and out of Flash to an HTML page.

Could I use variables in the getURL string instead? I am using Javascript in the HTML page rather than a server-side language (although this could be done)

Fs Command For Mac
Has anyone figured out a Mac solution to the fscommand problem?
I have read every single thread, tutorial, etc. on several boards about this issue, and I have not found a Mac answer. If anybody can help with Mac, here is my problem:
I have created a simple FlashMX projector for use on a CD-ROM. This projector has a button (it will have more than one if I can get this to work) which is supposed to launch an external QuickTime movie. I have created a simple AppleScript (named "DemoStarter", and it works fine) which launches the movie. I cannot get the fscommand "exec" to launch this AppleScript. Below is my FlashMX code:

on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "DemoStarter")
}

I have tried this with the AppleScript in the required fscommand folder, I have even tried using a Flash5 projector. No joy. Is there an extension for the Script that I am missing? Is there another answer?
Please help before my boss kills me. Thank you.

Need An _if Command (i Think?)
Hi,
say i have my index (blue) where everything tweens in. then a button is clicked to take the user to red, green or yellow and everything tweens out and then respective page then tweens in. how do i say:

play the rest of the clip (ie tween out);
if red was pressed, goto scene red
if green was pressed, goto scene green....

only other way i can see is by putting the out tween at the start of each other scene but this seems unnecessary work and runs into probs when the site gets into more levels...

thx for your help

FS Command?
Hello, this might appear to be a generic, easy to solve issue -but I'm currently in the dark.
I'm creating a simple remote CD in Flash [.EXE]. Once playing, I would like to open up Windows Explorer in the directory where the Projector file resides on the CD-ROM or a sub-directory on the CD-ROM.

How do I invoke this command [from a button]?
When the CD plays on a client's PC, how will the correct CD drive letter be recognized? (assuming that most computers use differing letters assigned to the CD drive)

What, if any, benefits are there to utilizing 3rd party command line software tools like 'Jugglor' along with 'JStart' to accomplish this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

If this question has already been answered, then I'm sorry -I didn't find it.

FS Command - Please HELP
Hi,
I am trying to create a expandable menu for my desktop. It has icons in it, and it's just something that will be used to take up less space. anyways my problem has to do with executing programs. I have a button as the Internet Explorer icon. At first I tried:

PHP Code:

on (release) {
    fscommand ("exec", "C:PROGRAM FILESINTERNET EXPLORERIEXPLORER.EXE");
}

that didn't work. I read that one is supposed to use DOS syntax so I tried,

PHP Code:

on (release) {
    fscommand ("exec", "C:PROGRA~1INTERN~1IEXPLORER.EXE");
}

But that didn't work either.

Does anyone know how to execute a file from flash?

P.S. I am using Flash 5

I have a movie with 7 buttons, that are duplicates, so they all change if you change one. They all have different instance names.
Is there any way of detecting which button the user clicks on by getting the instance name, and at the same time have specified that IF instance1(e.g.) is clicked it will load a certain frame or movie??

wow
would help me having to do loads of re programming, because it holds a script in it self that uses this setup.

If Command
Hi all,

I was wondering if you could do something. I work mostly in Director so I know all the lingo for it but Im just not sure if its possible to do it in Flash.

What I am looking to do is have a button and when the movie is playing, when u press it, it pauses the timeline and when u press the same button, the timeline continues on. In my mind it looks something like this:

On release

If playing = 1 then
let playing = 0 else
if playing = 0 then
let playing = 1

Ok, so that isnt right at all but can anyone help me out with the code Im looking for?

Thanks all.

Hi:

I'm making an autorun cd which launches a projector file. I am using an fscommand to make the projector fullscreen. This works great, but I have one problem. In my movie I have links to urls on the web. When I click on these url buttons it opens the webpage BEHIND the fullscreen projector movie. Is there a way to have these webpages open in front of the movie?

Command?
I have a movie clip website in design and have introduced thumbnail Symbols which, when assigned as buttons, should move on to display larger Symbols (and the small thumbnail too) when mouse is over, whilst retaining the text alongside. Text is static.

I have one layer which has text and a thumbnail and the second frame of this layer displays a repeat of frame 1 with a larger symbol.

It all looks fine when the timeline is moved but I have become lost with the command to move the movie on to display the second frame.

It seems to return to the beginning of the movie with on (release) {gotoAndPlay(2);} and the drop-down menu in Actions does not permit me to select the text page and layer I am working on.

I hope this makes sense and would be grateful for any advice.

Thanks.

and vice versa for the other (prevFrame). How would I go by making it go to the first frame if it was on the last one and the NextFrame button was pressed?
