Flash :: Launching Applications On Top Of Flash Window

Launching Applications
How do i launch applications from flash. Like those CDs from Maximum PC or even for studio 8, the installers are launched from flash, i am sure. how do i do that? Also how do i open PDFs? HTML etc? So for example, i have a few installers, a VB app i created myself, a HTML or PDF documentation for my application. how do i "compile" them in Flash 8, so that the Flash projector will take care of launching the progs, instead of the user having to search thru folders

Launching External Applications
Sorry if this is a stupid n00bish question, but I want to attach an action to a button within a Flash Movie that will launch Wordpad. I tried getURL (path to exe) but I'm now getting Security Warnings popping up asking me if I want to save or run this file. I'm using XP Service Pack 2 which I know has a lot of additional security measures but the project I'm working on is for eLearning and warnings like this will scare the s*** out of people so is there anyway around this issue

Launching Applications Using FSCOMMAND?
Is it possible to use fscommand with exec to launch applications that are not in an fscommand folder, but somewhere else on your C drive - I am wanting to create a menu for launching Games that I have installed on the C drive. Is there a way to do this?
It was explained on a macromedia page for Flash MX, but they talked about having to use a folder called fscommand in the same place as your flash movie that launches it - how could you do this if the files needed for the game are kind of spread out in different folders at the original install?

Im not sure I understand all thats involved

If possible urgent reply, as a very tight deadline is involved!?

Launching Mutliple Applications
Hi all,

I've scanned the forums and googled till my eyes hurt and can't find a solution for this, so can anyone help...

I've built a flash/CF application that creates online courses and then can export the data into XML and relevant sub folders, along with a "run course.exe" so it can be run locally. I've a load of these courses written and exported - all in their own subdirectories under the main "training" directory - but now want to build a "launcher" in flash. In a nutshell, a load of buttons that will run the exe's that are in the subs.

I've used Fscommand("exec"... to try and launch the courses, but this has certain limitations namely that the "executable" needs to be in an fscommand folder...however, all my executables look in subdirs that have the same name, so they need to be in subs of their own...which fscommand doesn't like. So my dir structure at the moment is like this

c:Training
c:Trainingfscommand
c:Trainingfscommandcourse1 <--- exe in here
c:Trainingfscommandcourse1images
c:Trainingfscommandcourse1xml
c:Trainingfscommandcourse1video
c:Trainingfscommandcourse2 <--- exe in here
c:Trainingfscommandcourse2images
c:Trainingfscommandcourse2xml
c:Trainingfscommandcourse2video
...etc

To get around this, i've created batch files that effectively run the exe in the subs (course1, course2)...BUT that means I'm left with a Command window open until the user finishes with the course - very nasty!

So...is there an alternative to using fscommand in a local environment that will run from any location given? I'm using Flash 8.
I've looked at ExternalInterface, but can't get my head around it, and don't even know if it will do the job.

Many thanks
Phil

Launching External Applications From An Swf
I've got this little interactive portfolio I'm building in Flash 5. It's in Flash because I havn't had time to get familiar with Director.
Got a problem though...
I need to be able to click on a button and tell it to launch an exe. Is there any action script command that will allow me to do that? Is it something similar to "getURL"?
Anyone?... Please?

New Window Not Launching Via Flash In IE

Launching A New IE Window From Flash
Hey I have an urgent problem with an assignment due tomorrow. I have a flash kiosk inside an internet explorer browser window and there are buttons inside the flash that link to different .html files. I want these files to load in a new window, for HTML it would just be a case of target="_blank" but I have no idea how to do this in flash. At the moment it loads in the current window taking the user away from the kiosk into a new page within the same browser window however I really need it to load in a brand new browser window.

Please help!!!

Launching Browser Window On Top Of Flash
I've created a combobox to launch .pdf's in an external browser window, but was wondering if there's a way to get the browser to launch "on top" of the Flash movie......As it is now, the movie partially covers the .pdf.

Problem Launching A New Netscape Window From Flash
Hi:
I am finishing my new site and, when I try to launch a .swf file, embedded into HTML, with Netscape, sometimes it does not work at all, or does not work properly.

Have somebody suffered something like this? Any help will be appreciated.

Launching A Customized Html Window Using Flash

How do I do that? Do i have to program that button in flash for javascript?
Please help asap!!! Thank you!!!

Launching A Browser Window From A Flash Executable
Hi guys, I've run into a small problem launching a browser window on top of a flash exe.

I recently created a flash cd demo and once placed in the cd drive it launches and scales to fit the screen
fscommand("fullscreen", "true"); now when I launch a browser from a link provided it appears in front of the demo (which is what I want) but problem is if I don't close that previous browser window and try to launch another from the flash demo, it appears "behind" the flash movie.

So bascially I would like to know if there's a code snippet that keeps the browser window always on top.

it's been driving me nutz

please help

Launching A Fixed-size Window From Flash?
Hi all,

How can I launch an html pop-up window of size 400 by 400 from flash?

thanks in advance

Launching Quicktime Mov In New Browser Window From Flash
I'm having trouble with the placement of my quicktime movie (there's borders around it and I don't know why) which i launch from my flash movie (on web) into a new window (unresizable and set dimensions) using this javascript:

on (release) {
gotoAndStop(49);
getURL("javascript:window.open('test.html','win1', 'width=400,height=320, top=15,screeny=15,left=15,screenx=15,toolbar=no,sc rollbars=no, resizable=no,menubar=no,status=no,directories=no,l ocation=no'); void(0);");
}

the problem i have, is that the new browser window which plays my quicktime, leaves a border to the left, bottom, top, and right of my quicktime movie... This is the html code for "test.html" (with qt embedded):

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<TITLE>bkuhl</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"
width="400"
height="320">
<param name="src" value="cd1/fringenew.mov">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<embed src="URL"
width="400"
height="320"
autoplay="true"
controller="true"
pluginspace="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">

</BODY>
</HTML>

If there is code in the "object" and "embed" parts above which eliminate this strange border around my quicktime, can someone tell me what they are?

The new window is 400x320... my quicktime is 400x320, i don't know why there is a 20 pixel or so margin to left, top, right and bottom

www.gmunk.com (click on broadcast then one of the movies) to see how I want my movie to play.

I don't have a link to the movie, but i could provide one if my explanation makes no sense.

i know this isn't strictly a flash problem, but as I'm trying to launch the window from flash, perhaps there is something in the javascript that'll solve this...

I'm pretty sure the problem is with the html, however.

Thanks, and help appreciated

Getting Rid Of The Top Of The Browser Window When Launching A New Window.
hi there,

I have been having trouble getting a flash site to launch a new broswer window for a html document. It worked fine when opening a new flash window but not html.

Anyway someone on here kindly helped me and sent me this code:
getURL("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://www.design8ed.com/digitalspirit/pages/designcs.html','newWin','width=459,height=171,left =0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,stat us=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); screen_height = window.screen.availHeight; screen_width = window.screen.availWidth; left_point = parseInt(screen_width/2)-(459/2); top_point = parseInt(screen_height/2)-(171/2); setTimeout('NewWindow.moveTo(left_point,top_point) ',100); void(0);");

Which made it work the only thing is it pop up including the browser menu at the top - does anyone know how i can get rid of this?

Also within the html doc - http://www.design8ed.com/digitalspir.../designcs.html i have a close button which when reviewed works but when published it doesn't close the browser window - is there something i'm missing - why isn't it working?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Launching Pop Up Window
I really need help!!!

I am trying to get a button on the release event to open a pop up window. The window needs to be HTML containing QT movie. So I need the window to have no menu/bars etc.

I've tried various Javascript and NO SUCCESS.

Here is the typical example:
Get URL ("javascript:launchwin('open.html','newwindow','he ight=50,width=300')")
End On

So where am I going wrong?.

I'm not too sure how to imput the commands; in which of the boxes in the actions tab?.

I stuck and it is agony....

Launching A Window
All,

I have a dilemna. I need to know how when you either click on a hyperlink in a html file (using javascript etc.) or if neccesary a hyperlink in a flash file that it will launch a new window containing a .swf file which the viewer can then close.

The second part of the dilemna is I would like to know if it is possible to make this window shaped the way i want it - for example, a rectangle but with curved edges.

Whatever you can suggest would be very helpful. Thank you,

James!!

Launching Pop Up Window
I have just created a small portfolio site for myself which is working fine... in netscape. However in IE the link in the motion section that creates a new window does not.

All that there is a button that launches a new window using a javascript.

This is the script on the actions layer.

_global.openWinCentre = function(url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) { getURL("javascript:window.open('"+url+"','"+winNam e+"','"+"width="+w+", height="+h+",toolbar="+toolbar+",location="+locati on+",directories="+directories+", status="+status+",menubar="+menubar+",scrollbars=" +scrollbars+",resizable="+resizable+", top='+((screen.height/2)-("+h/2+"))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-("+w/2+"))+'"+"'); void(0);"); };

And on the button

on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "if.html";
target_winName = "ideasfactory";
width = 250;
height = 300;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 0;
resizable = 0;
//sends data back to the function
openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);
}

I'm stumped at the moment!! any help?

Launching A Pop-up Window ?
Hi,

I'm having a hard time figuring this out...

I have a button in my movie that launches a page in a new window.

I need the window to open at 400x200 with no scroll bars, address bar, bookmarks, etc.

Is this possible? Is it done from the flash? Or is it some javascript?

Launching A Centered Pop-Up Window
I used a tutorial by VAZBO (thanks to Vazbo in advance) for Launching a Centered Pop-Up Window...

and it works great except for some reason, when the html pop up window opens up, the artwork is shifted about 1cm down and a cm to the right, cropping the edge of the html.

any clues to why this is happening (i'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the original script by Vazbo)... pretty urgent request?

Launching A Centered Pop-Up Window
Launching a Centered Pop-Up Window
Hi folks,

I have these clean scripts for launching a Centered popup window, but I cannot get the script to control the window size

here's the button action script:

on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "http://www.johnhintlian.com/portfolio01.htm";
target_winName = "john";
width = 40;
height = 60;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 1;
resizable = 1;
//sends data back to the function
openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);
}

here's the frame action:

_global.openWinCentre = function(url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {
getURL("java script:window.open('"+url+"','"+winName+"','"+"wid th="+w+",height="+h+",toolbar="+toolbar+",location ="+location+",directories="+directories+",status=" +status+",menubar="+menubar+",scrollbars="+scrollb ars+",resizable="+resizable+",top='+((screen.heigh t/2)-("+h/2+"))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-("+w/2+"))+'"+"');void(0);");
};

It ALMOST works, any idea I can control the size of the popup windows.

here's the site:

I'm almost there, pleeeze!

Launching A New Window (how Embarrassing...)
Hi,

I know this is so basic but I'm in a bind and can't figure this out...

I am using a Flashloaded component (thumbnailer pro). There are three thumbnails, each of which needs to launch a unique URL. It just needs to open in a new window.

I have the following actionscript placed in the correct frame on my timeline:

Code:
var html_array=["http://www.flashloaded.com","http://www.flashkit.com", "http://www.cnn.com"];

tnailer.onThumbRelease=function(mc)
{
getURL(html_array[1,2,3],"_blank");
}

In my html page I am using thhe following javacsript:

Code:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

</script>
I am getting nowhere.... I'm not sure how to customize the script. Nothing I try works.

Error message: The requested URL /new-site/undefined was not found on this server.

Any takers?

Cheers!

Launching A Window And Communicating Between
I am launching a new window using Actionscript and Javascript which i am successfully doing, but what i also want to do is mute the sound in the timeline of the main window (which is triggered using "_root.sSoundStatus='1' or '0'") from the popup window that is being launched and then unmute when the popup is closed, does anybody know if this is possible?

Launching A Popup Window In AS
Hello,

I'm trying to launch a popup window in AS. In order to do that I'm using the following code:

Code:
getURL("javascript:void(window.open('/cswf/getmedia.aspx?id=" + p_mediaId + "','MediaPage','toolbar=no,width=300,height=300,noresize'))");
where p_mediaId is just a number that is passed to the ASPX.

Unfortunately the I.E. popup killer catches this link and prevents the window from opening.

Is there an effective way to solve this problem? How can I launch a popup window that isn't detected by the popup killer?

SWF File Launching Pop-up Window
I am putting a web site on a CD, using the Flash projector. I have used the tutorial for the Centered Pop-Up Window. Works great! Now I'm having a hard time making it work from the CD. I have searched but haven't found this similar problem.

All html files, images are in folders on the CD (Portlgpages) folder. The code for the window is:

on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "http://www.eddygraphicdesign.com/Portlgpages/ill_08.html";
target_winName = "popup_08";
width = 288;
height = 650;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 1;
resizable = 0;
//sends data back to the function
openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);
}

For example, I've changed the address to Portlgpages/ill_08.html but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Launching A Centered Pop-Up Window
I would like my centered, pop-up window to open a movie at a specific frame rather than simply at a URL. Can anyone help?

Launching A Centered Pop-up Window
I should have been clearer: I am responding to the tutorial on this topic. The tutorial works beautifully - especially for launching a .swf in a pop up window. However, I am interested in launching a .swf at a specific frame in the movie itself. Can anyone help?

Launching A Centred Pop Up Window
Hello Everyone.

I don't usually post any difficulties/problems that I encouter with Flash as I aways seem to work the issue out...eventually, however this occasion is different.

The tutorial on this wonderful site for "Launching a Centred Pop Up Window" is excellent. I have followed it to the letter to use this functionality on a site that is currently in development:

What I'm attempting to do is launch a centred "customizable" .swf

I have modified the script in the following way:

on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = http("D:\WEB_Projects\WedPopUpTestFile\CallupUR LTest.swf");
target_winName = "";
width = 400;
height = 300;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 1;
resizable = 0;
//sends data back to the function
openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);
}

the Java script remains un-changed at:

_global.openWinCentre = function(url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {
getURL("javascript:window.open('"+url+"','"+winNam e+"','"+"width="+w+",height="+h+",toolbar="+toolba r+",location="+location+",directories="+directorie s+",status="+status+",menubar="+menubar+",scrollba rs="+scrollbars+",resizable="+resizable+",top='+(( screen.height/2)-("+h/2+"))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-("+w/2+"))+'"+"');void(0);");
};

Unfortunately this is not producing the required result. I want to open a seperate .swf file [centred and customized] that will control audion on the site.

If someone could be so kind as to point me in the correct direction, i'd be very appreciative.

Many thanks

Re:Launching A Centered Pop-Up Window
hi!

i recently used the kirupa.com tutorial [Launching a Centered Pop-Up Window] to do exactly that... and it worked great (finally), except that it doesn't seem to work in internet explorer. firefox, safari and netscape are all fine. it's so strange, and i can't manage to figure out where the problem lies.

other popups (other flash sites, my own javascript sites) work, but this one is just driving me crazy! it doesn't show up at all.

i used a tutorial for MX, though i have MX 2004.

any suggestions?

thanks so much!

Launching An External .avi In A New Window
hi all,

I've been searching for a way to launch an external movie file (preferably a .avi) from a button inside of flash mx 2004. I am trying to get it so a new window (seperate from the .swf or .exe that the flash is in) pops up and plays the .avi in the user's default player, whatever that may be.

I have tried the fscommand, which works great for launching another .exe, but does nothing for other files. I have also tried getURL, but that just opens a new default browser window.

does anyone have any suggestions? any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

thanks so much,
emily

Launching Window .onload
Hello,
I am trying to create a window launcher that will work with url variable.

I have created a page such as this in javascript but alas, popup blockers will defeat it.
To test it out go to www.ageofeternity.com/magelo/magelo.htm?26510 (make sure allow http1.1 through proxy settings is checked)

As you can see, the page works well if you add that domain to allow pop-ups. I am turning to flash to see if I can't get around the blocker issue (and around the click to activate with swfobject). Does flash allow you to do that since flash is creating the new window?

--------------------------------
Here is whats done so far:

Code:
_root.onLoad = function(launchwindow){
getURL("javascript:launch(http://eq.magelo.com/profile/26510)");
}
When I export the movie, it works locally and pops up a bad url of course there is no javascript:launch(http/etc) on the web. But when I put it on the site with this as the launching page:

I am hoping for a solution that many users can use to link on forum signatures to create the authentic look. If you use just URL links, you get toolbars, and other junk in the way that distorts the profile.

Any assistance would be appreciated

Launching A Centered Pop-Up Window HELP
I am very new to FLASH8 and found the tut. mentioned in the subject line. I got it to work just fine as is. I can also get it to work with a bitmap button image.

My question in, how can this same thing work with a transparent button above a bitmap image on the stage as the background?

I am using a Premium Page Flip component by http://www.page-flip.com/

In this component you have swf files within the main swf. In this case the tecnique described in the tut. dosn't work. Can anyone tell me why? is it due to the nested swf? How can I overcome this? See a sample here; http://www.edward-ramos.net/AndrewBoyce/index.htm
