Issue - Flash Wont Launch
Hi there,

My laptop has gone for repair so I need to use flash mx in the meantime on my pc. I haven't got flash installed, so I downloaded the trial, but after installation it just wont launch no matter how many times I reinstall. I even downloaded the 7.02 updater.

Everything else like fireworks and such works fine.

Does anyone have a clue? I have to get a flash site done asap and am beginning to really panic!!

Thanks,

Vish

Can I Launch An .exe From Flash? Possible?
OK.

I created a screensaver with Screentime for Flash (3rd Party). I'll call this Screensaver.exe.

The link to this screensaver is in my self executable file (which happens to be a User Agreement). I'll call this User_Agreement.exe

When the CD is put into the computer, User_Agreement.exe launches and prompt the user to either "Agree" to the terms, or "Disagree" If they disagree to the terms, they exit out of the screen. If they agree, then I want them to be able to launch SCreensaver.exe (which is an installer).

Is this possible?

Please help!!!

PLEASE HELP - Using Flash To Launch A .exe On PC
Hey Now good people, I am running into a problem and I need some insight. I am using Flash to launch an executable on a remote PC and it works on everything BUT WinXP SP2 with Internet Explorer 6 SP2... here's the thing, it should pop-up the "Run?" dialog, but with the above configuration, nothing happens unless you press the CTRL key several times (then it works) I am completely baffled as to why the CTRL keypresses would eventually launch the .exe... can anyone provide me with even a clue? It's not: security settings, pop-up blocker, firewall, etc... it's definitely between Flash and the browser. But WHY?

Please help me, I have to have an answer by Tuesday or I'm a dead man.

Can Flash Launch EVB App In PPC?
Flash Comrades,
I'm trying to build a GPS application running on an iPAQ with a Flash UI. I've got a eVB application that actually starts up the GPS and reads the NMEA sentences and writes them to a textfile but I want to start the eVB app itself within the Flash UI (so it runs more or less invisibly behind Flash). Anybody know how Flash can launch an application in the PPC environment? (PPC equivalent of fscommand exec???)

Any help GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!

Flash MX Won't Launch
For some reason after a few years of using Flash MX 2004 it won't launch on my Mac (G5-10.3.9) anymore. It gets all the way to where the work area is about to appear and then quits. The error log says " Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE"

I've tried every possible thing I can think of from deleting the .plist , repairing permissions and repairing the disk to re-installing the entire thing from scratch with no luck. It still does the same thing and I can't figure out what's going on. It doesn't happen to any of my other applications.

Does anybody have any idea what's going on or how I can fix it?

Autorun On Mac OS To Launch Flash?
Hi,

Does anyone know how to do this on Mac OS? Basically have a CD with an autorun command?

Thanks.

The following is from: http://board.flashkit.com/board/show...hreadid=269500

first you edit the movie and add the following script on the first frame

fscommand ("fullscreen", "true");

make sure you make an exit button with the following script

fscommand ("quit", "true");

this will close the movie.

making a autorun for a cd should be done as followed

make a text file rename it to "autorun.inf" this file should be put on the top level of the cd (x:autorun.inf) where x is you cd drive.

edit the autorun.inf file and add the following scripts to it,

[autorun]
open=my_flash_movie.exe
icon=optional_icon.exe

the icon tag is optional as you can see and you can leave it out of the autorun.inf withoiut a problem, if you don`t
declare an icon the cd-rom will use the default icon (in this case it will be the Pink Flash icon). the icon can be located in a .exe or a .ico file.

Good Luck!

Can't Launch Tutorials In Flash
Ya know how in Flash, Fireworks, etc. when you click the help menu to use the tutorials or the glossary or whatever it launches your browser and takes you to the macromedia site? Mine won't do that anymore. How do I get to the "Using Flash" on the site or is this a file that I have inadvertantly deleted from my computer?

I think it has something to do with my file type associations but I don't know what type it's trying to launch.

I'm using Windows 2K and my default browser is IE 6.0.

Any Assistance is greatly appreciated.

How To Launch An Executable With Flash?
I'm using fscommand to try to pull this off. Here is the code I'm using on a button to launch the executable:

on (release) {
fscommand("exec","Viewer.exe");

}

If the flash SWF is in the same folder with the "Viewer.exe" (on the same level), it ought to launch - right? I tried using a path to the file first, but couldn't get the exe to launch (I have a feeling the path may not have been complete). I s this a better way around using a path to launch it?

Thanks for any help!

Launch Exe From Flash Projector?
Is possible to launch an external application (.exe) from a Flash movie (other than a browser or mail app)?

I have a client who has files set up for a CD-ROM. Currently there is an Autorun.inf file that launches an application called Menu.exe.

Menu.exe, in turn, provides links to other documents on the disk (PDF, PowerPoint and HTML).

The client would like a Flash animation introduction to the CD-ROM before the Menu appears.

I can set the Autorun file to open a Flash Projector, but I don't have access to the application that made Menu.exe. Is there any way I can prompt Menu.exe to launch from within a Flash Projector?

Using Flash To Launch Another Application
Is it possible to have a link in an SWF file launch another application? I thought I read a while back on the Macromedia site that they had disabled this feature to keep malicious coders from using SWF's to cause harm. For example, if I had a software tutorial made in Flash, and after explaining how to do something, the viewer could click a link, which would open the software that is the topic of the tuorial, so that they could try it themselves. Is this do-able?

Calling A DLL From Within Flash To Launch App
Hi Guys,

   I want a viewer of my embedded Flash (non-projector) movie to be able to, upon clicking a button, open a custom app on their machine without seeing the security dialog box.  I realize this is there for a reason, and I agree with the reason.  But if one has a group of users that know they want to be able to do this repeatedly without an annoying box, they should be able to authorize such a thing (kind of like how the browser can remember an applet-permission decision).  Curently, I see no built-in way to allow for that.  So I am considering the idea of calling a DLL in the background from my Flash movie which will seamlessly launch the app, no dialogs involved.  Is there a 'best way' to do this?  I found a product on the web called 'ScreenWeaver' which I believe might be a solution.  Has anyone any experience with this kind of situation that they can share with me?

   Thanks,

     -Tony
