Save A File From A CD-ROM To The Desktop
Hello Flash Experts

First of all, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!

I work on a Mac. I cannot use third-part software such as FreeMX or ***********. I designed a dual platform CD-ROM presentation and everything works great -- except for ONE thing.

I have a small image library and I need it to work like this: when you press a button, I want the selected image file to be transferred FROM the CD-ROM and be saved ONTO the desktop of the PC or the Mac.

I have 7 high resolution jpegs and 2 Illustrator eps files - in both PC and Mac format.

I found a LONG Mac applescript that will do this for me. Is there a PC script or actionsscript that will do this function for me? Do I need to write a .bat file and use FScommand ("exec","mybat01") to trigger a DOS command? I understand this method will cause a DOS window to pop open on the PC.

If I use: getURL, what happens in the file attempts to open in the web-browser. Not good because the jpegs are 300 dpi and the browser cannot understand the Illustrator eps files.

If any experts out there can help me find a solution to this dilemma, I would be most grateful!

Remember - I'm using a Mac so I can't use FreeMX or *********** (they only work on a PC). I would post the .fla file, but it's over 37 megs. Sorry.

Thank you Flash friends!

How Do I Save A File To The Desktop From A Flash Projector?
Hi fellow Flashers!

I am creating a Flash Projector for Mc and PC and it's going to go on a CD. I'm including a folder on the CD with various "downloadable" files (jpegs, PDFs, etc). I want to be able to click a button in the projector file and have a linked file saved to the desktop. Right now, when I click a button, the linked file opens in a web browser. How can I make that linked file an object that can be saved directly to the destop? I've seen CD-ROM media kits that do this: I click the button for the object I want to save to my desktop; a window pops up that shows the file name and it gives me an option to select the exact location on my computer where I want the linked file saved to.

I'll bet this is a really easy button actionscript, but I cannot figure it out. Can anyone help me? Thanks nycomett

Is It Possible To Run FS Projector File And Capture Entire Desktop?
I'm scouring the Web and the Adobe docs, but thought I would pose the question to you guys while I look.

I would like to create a smart little animation sequence in Flash and give it to people as a projector file set to autoplay once they pop it in. I want to mimic a transparent AIR app, in that I'd like my little animation to appear to just pop up out of nowhere in the desktop environment. It would be really cool if I could use bitmapDate methods to capture the users desktop and use it as a fullscreen background at the moment the thing loads and starts, to give the illusion of the animation existing outside of any window, like any other little app in their dock. I need to avoid any executable having to get permission from an administrator to show my little song and dance. Capturing the entire desktop is a visual illusion that would be perfectly non-invasive. Is this possible? I'm not sure if you can expand the stage area; at this point I'm just brainstorming. Thanks - I hope this spurs a discussion.

**Let me say that I understand the inherent security risk in being able to capture a desktop. But I'm still hoping to find a way to mimic a transparent app without having to install anything on a user's machine**

Add Skin And Buttons (play, Stop, Etc) To Play A Swf File
Hello Forum,

Is there a way to use a skin/buttons just like the FLVPlayer that will give the same control to a movie clip (aka SWF file)?

I have a few swf files that are movie clips - not video. I would like to be able to load the movie clip, and be able to start, stop, pause, mute audio just like the FLVPlayer component does, but for a swf file.

I would like to have a "component" with the buttons, etc and be able to load the movie clip using the loadMovie method, and play the movie clip. I have a clip that starts playing after I load it, but would like to load it, and have it stopped, and then play the clip using buttons, etc.

I do not want to add buttons to each of my swf files, but have one movie clip with buttons, and load a swf into it.

Any tips will help,

thanks,

Autorun File - Irregular "Alpha"ed Shape In Desktop
Greeting from Mexico!

I am trying to work on a way to create an Autorun file that will display an irregular shape with an alpha background. But I wish the file to run without an explorer window. And the Alpha background is for the Desktop to show from behind the irregular shape. It is very similar to an auto-run instaler from adobe. I have been able to make a movie's background transparent to show the background in webpages, but I havnt found a way to do it in Windows XP and Mac OS X desktops using Flash Player. Any ideas? Thanks

Fms Ns.play(file, -2) Vs Ns.play(stream, -2)
Hi,

I have a very strange problem.

I have created an application on fms. on the streams/_definst_/instance directory there is a sample flv file with name file.flv

If i have a client doing ns.play(file,-2) everything is fine. The file is delivered (streaming) nicely.

If i have the below:

Client::: ns.play(stream, -2);

Server-side: (Stream.get("stream")).play(file, -2);

The file is delivered, but it doesnt playback/flow properly. It seems like breaking(stacks) on some points and then continue.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thank you vrey much!

SWF File That Points To FLV File Won't Play
Hello,

I'm thinking there's got to be something on the server side configuration that's preventing this ...

Do you have any idea why is this happening? I have these two identical cfm files that point
to a flash swf file on site # 1 and site # 2. The Flash movie plays within DreamWeaver,
it plays locally on my pc testing server and it plays on Web site #2 but not on site #1.

Recreated everything again, checked the paths even launched the swf files before uploading them and it all worked.
Once they're on the production server, the swf won't load the external Flash *.flv file. I checked the permissions of
the files and directory through a DosBox and everything look fine. Oh and I've got the latest Flash plugin installed.

I'm stumped!

How To Play A .FLV File
Yes, this is the most basic of all questions. I have a file called get_video.flv Double-clicking does not help - Windows does not know what program is associated with it. I tried to associate it with a player, but there is no Flash player that I can see listed there.

I know I have flash, because it recently (today) asked me if I wanted to update to the latest version. Also, I can view flash on any site that I go to.

Play Includes Txt File?
Hi all.

I'll try to make it short and quick so you can understand my question - so lets go

My problem is: I'm working on a banner for at site, and in that bannere there have to be some text... More or less, is up to them, but they have absolutly No understanding on Flash what so ever, så there the text have to be from a txt file so they only need to edit that to ad some new text.

I have a text area on my banner (About middle) where the text have to be, but it can't be there everything at once, so it have to "slide" out and "slide" in...

I know how to ad a txt file with varibles like this:
LoadVariables("filename.txt", "_root");
But when i do that, it will include Everything in that text file, and as said; that's not what i want...

Some kind of delay, so:
text1 is sliding in
text1 (standing in about 2-3 secs)
> text1 is sliding out
text2 is sliding in
text2 (standing in about 2-3 secs)
> text2 is sliding out
I hope you understand me and my question.

I've tryed to downloade some movies from here, with that feature, but i can't crack that code and put it in my banner...

I really really hope that you can help me with this, because it's a bit importen that I put that feature in :-)

Thanks - Public2.
