Launch Windows File Browser For Jpeg File Import To Flash?
I would like for the users of my interactive piece to be able to click on a button which says, 'import file'. This would launch the usual windows open file browser window to appear. Then the user could import an image file. This file would load into a holder movie clip and then would stretch or shrink to fit into a size of my choosing, i.e. 400 x 300. Is this possible? I imagine it might be using flash to call some javascript but I could use some advice.
Thanks

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

I am designing a flash site, the index page is a logo which follows your mouse around the screen and when you click on it a new window launches showing the main site - http://www.design8ed.com/digitalspirit/main.html
This works fine on a Mac but on a Pc in internet explorer it doesn't work - does anyone have any ideas why??
Below is the code i used, it works okay on Netscape on a pc - very strange - wondered if the code needs to be modified?.
In flashn (release) {
getURL("JavaScriptpenNewWindow('http://www.design8ed.com/digitalspirit.main.html','thewin','height=600,widt h=800,toobar=no,scrollbars=no');");
}
the html code which i have placed in between the head tags
:<script language="JavaScript">
function openNewWindow (URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures) {
newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures); }
</script>

Launch Browser Window Problem
Hi.
i have an intro page to a site i'm designing that has a flash swf embedded into an html page.
the code i have at the end of the flash is this:
stop();
getURL("http://www.xxxxxx.com/news", _self);
What is happening is it opens a new browser window and leaves the other up, despite me using _self.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
I'm sure it's something simple.

Launch SWF In Browser Window W/no Buttons
I know this is probably easy, but I can't figure it out. I have a game that launches from a website. If a user clicks on a browser button like Back, the game is reset. I don't have time to fix this.
But, I would like to be able to do one of two things, either:
launch in a browser window with no buttons
or go full screen with no apparent browser.
I am using Flash CS3, AS2. Any help would be appreciated.

Auto Launch Fullscreen Browser From A Timeline
I have seen the onclick scripts for fullscreen and the fullscreen projector ones.............but what I need to do is make a browser window that opens centered and focused and fullscreen on page loading by itself.
Can I launch a browser window at frame 0 with the same url and have it then close the window that started the launch automatically?
What is the easiest way? I have done it in frame 0 of a flash timeline but only for projector exes.
I would appreciate seeing the entire code which will work on the internet for browsers.

Want FlashMXPro To Launch Quicktime/player W/o Browser
I have FlashMX2004Pro and I am doing a CDROM projector project. The page has buttons that launch either the quicktime player on the Mac or the Window Media Player to play video files. This all works when I test it, but before the player windows come up I get a blank, ugly Explorer window. This is the action attached to my button:
on(release){getURL("Final Mother's Day 1-2 size.mov");}
How can I get just the player windows to come up and play and no launching of Explorer?
Thanks in advance!

Can Projector Files Launch Sized Browser Windows?
Hi,
I'm using flash to generate projector files.
Right now, with using GetURL, I can open up a quicktime video in a browser window.
However, if I try to specifiy height and width, I can't.
If I were to use the HTML file, it's fine, but it just won't work on the projector file.
The script in flash GetURL is:
javascript:var newWindow=window.open('movie.html','windowname','w idth=320,height=240,scrollbars=yes');
I'm trying to get this done for a simple cdrom that needs to be automatically launched.
Can anyone help me? I'm using Flash 5.
Thanks!

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.

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?

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?
