Flash :: Opening POP-UP Windows From Projector.EXE Files?

Opening HTML Windows From Projector
I have a bunch of HTML links accessible from a Flash Projector (EXE). The projector is running in fullscreen mode, so the WinXP status bar, etc are hidden. The first link clicked on opens the HTML page Internet Explorer. When I click back to the Flash projector the IE window disappears (i.e., it is sent to the back).

My problem is that when the user click on any additional links the URL is loaded in the same window as previously, but this time the window stays hidden behind the fullscreen projector (unlike the first time a URL is clicked and IE opens)! Is there a way to always force a new instance of the IE browser that will open 'above' the projector?

I realize the user could 'ALT TAB' to browse to the IE window or minimize the projector (by pressing ESC) and use the WinXP status bar to select the IE window, but neither of these solutions are ideal. I want all clicked URLs to 'pop-up' above the projector within IE.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Opening Windows From A Flash Projector File In Fullscreen Mode...
Greetings all, thanks in advance.

I've created a Flash file that is in the fullscreen Projector .exe format, intended for use as a demo CD. This Flash file is as an interface to materials on the CD, as well as external URL links.

All my links are coded with the getURL command, and seem to work fine. I click a button, and the applicable html or pdf page opens in front of the Fullscreen Flash. This occurs in every instance UNLESS there is already an IE window open. If there is another IE window open, the new link opens BEHIND the fullscreen flash, making it seem like the button is broken.

My client wishes the maintain the fullscreen mode, but I've been searching for a solution for this for a couple hours, and am getting a little frustrated.

Is there some sort of window.focus that I can use from within a Flash .exe? Any ideas?

Thanks again.

Opening Windows Files Browsers
Hi,

Is it possible to open a new window from a flash application that allows a user to browse files on their system, rather than opening a new web browser window, and if so, how is it done? I'm developing a flash movie to go on a CD and need a button that will allow the user to view files on the CD in a new window.

Any help would be much welcomed.

Thanks.

FS Projector Opening Files On Top Layer
Hi,

Have created a full screen projector for dist by CD. Works fine though when I try to link to a PDF it opens it behind the projector (so the user doesn't know it's opened). Does anyone know a way to get them to open above the projector (I reckon it must be in the actionscript).

Thanks in advance

Opening HTML Files From A Projector
Flash MX/WinXP:

I'm attempting to open an HTML file from a projector, but it doesn't seem to be working. I thought I could program the button with this:

on (release) {
getURL("movie/cdloader1.html", "_blank");
}

If getURL does not work to call local files from a CD-ROM, then is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Opening External Files On A Mac Projector
i'm creating a hybrid cd in flash that references external quicktime movies. i found applications that allow me to open the files using fscommand, like freeMX, but have been unable to find a comparable application for Mac platforms. i have seen ways to create applsecript files i could call that would reference and open a file, but have not seen anything to which i could pass the name and path of a file as a variable, as is possible in the PC executables.

This is important because so far, the flash interface we've created is is dynamically expandable, as it reads from csv text files to display images, thumbnails, etc. i'd like to keep that option for the section showing quicktime movies.

Is there such an application, or could one be easily developed?

Thanks

Publishing WIndows Projector Exe Files
Hi

I'm an A-Level student and have been asked to do a presentation for a group of up-coming students. I have prepared a Flash presentation with Macromedia Flash MX and want to publish it as an exe file so when the CD it is on is inserted into the computer it auto starts. I don't really know how to do this but could probably figure it out with a little experimentation. However, the problem is I don't know how to make it full screen when it does auto-start, i.e. when I double click on the exported exe file it is just opening in Macromedia Flash Player and to make it full screen I have to do Cntrl-F.

I know that for this presentation it isn't really that important but could anyone tell me if/how it is possible to make a Flash made exe file auto-start, full screen from a CD?

Thanks in advance

Projector: Opening Video Files Outside Of Flash?
I would like to open outside mpeg files from a projector file. e.g. have them run outside of the projector when a button is click inside the procjector.

I've tried fscommand("exec", ...) and it doesn't seem to work at all.

I've also tried getURL which seems to only work in opening the file when a browser window is already opened.

Is there a better way to fire up an outside video file from a projector file?

Opening Pdf Files And Word Documents From A Flash Projector?
I have Flash MX 2004 Pro (just got it)... and everybody I work with just updated to xp boxes, In the past I used Flash 5 to make Flash projector based CD-Roms to have an animated product menu that when a certin product is clicked on it would bring up a pdf file or a word document. I did this using batch files but now the xp boxes don't respond. Does anybody have any suggestions?

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!

Anyone has any idea?

Opening New Windows
I'm trying to allow the user to send variables, the values of different text fields, to a perl application which opens in a new window. I'm using the send() method, which works fine. The only problem is that I want to define the dimensions of the new window. It seems like this should be simple enough, but I am very unfamiliar with actionscript and have been unable to find the answer I'm looking for in the Flash documentation or online, so if anyone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Here's the code that I'm using:

submit.onPress = function() {
var contact:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

contact.realname = userName.text;
contact.returnAddress = userEmail.text;
contact.subject = userSubject.text;
contact.message = userMessage.text;
contact.recipient = "email@address.com";

contact.send("cgi-bin/formMail.pl", "_blank", "POST");
}

If you would like to see it in action, go to http://www.studiosix12.com/test.htm, and go to the "contact" section.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Opening Windows
I need each of the buttons in the circle movie clip to open a different window like the one showed on the main stage. This means you must create three unique windows, one for each button. I've tried to do it, but it absolutely refuses to cooperate every time. Oh, how I envy you who are masters at what you do... Ah, and it would be great if the window was a different color...say instead of pink-dark brown, instead of a white bg, translucent. If it's not too much trouble, tell me what you did so I can learn. I wish I were a Flash great...

Projector ? Opening From Swf.
Ok. I've done this before but in Flash 4. I haven't had a chance until now to need to use the exce function.

So. This is the code Im using

PHP Code:

on (release) {
fscommand("Exec", "test.bat");
}

the test.bat is in the same directory as the swf. I first started to have it like this:

PHP Code:

fscommand("Exce", "/Folder1/Folder1a/test.bat");

Whats wrong with both of them.. They dont work? am I missing something? I know I have the .bat file correct because I can run it by just clicking on the file in explorer.

Projector Opening A Projector
I know this is getting repetitive in the forums, but I still can't seem to get this ****e to work! Here's my intent, situation, and problem:

I am making a hybrid cd-rom portfolio. I have 4 folders; "Work" folder (where all of my .fla's are located), "MAC" folder (which contains all the information for the macintosh portion of the cd-rom), "ONLINE" folder (self explainatory) and "PC" folder (again, self explainatory). I have all of my .fla's publishing to the appropriate folders. The content in the MAC folder does not reference anything in the ONLINE or PC folder. The PC folder contains a projector that references all the files in the MAC folder, because that's just the way it was set up. There's only the AUTORUN file and a single projector file in the PC folder.

My "MAC" folder contains the topmost projector file and the "fscommand" folder. That topmost projector file determines which operating system the user is on, and opens up the appropriate projector file. The projector file, whether it be PC or MAC loads the appropriate .swf's which contain all the appropriate information for any given section. It all works.

The directory looks something like this:

MAC/fscommand/Data/ -content in the Data folder
sections/subsections

The .swf of interest here is called game_work.swf

In game_work.swf when I click on a button, it determines whether or not the portfolio is located on the web or not, and which operating system the user is on. Once it determines that, I have IF statments that tell it to open a projector file. That projector file is a game I made.

My question is this: I know how to do an fscommand.

fscommand("exec", ":E-Bug-Bomber"); <-- For Mac
fscommand("exec", "/E-Bug-Bomber.exe"); <-- For PC

I want to place the "E-Bug-Bomber" projector files in the "Data" folder. So the absolute path, beginning from the first projector file will be:

"fscommand/Data/E-Bug-Bomber"

How do I reference the file correctly? I'm thinking that since the secondary projector (the one that is being opened by the topmost projector) is where the game_work.swf is being brought to (because it's being brought into the main projector via loadMovie() function).

Windows Projector - Help Please
I have published my movie in the windows projector format but my load movie function does not work.

On buttons I have actionscript telling flash to load a movie into an empty movie clip. I realise that it is probably beacause it is telling the movie to load in an SWF file.

Will I need to change the file extension to another format?

For example, on the home button, the script at the moment is:

Hi guys,

Been using Flash MX for a while on a PC, but have recently upgraded my Director to MX2004. I have noticed that there are seperate tabs in the publish settings for OS classic and OSX when making projectors. This isn't the case in Flash MX - does this mean that Mac projectors produced from here are compatible with both OS classic and OSX, or are these Mac projectors incompatible with OSX???
