Flash :: Publishing WIndows Projector Exe Files

Opening POP-UP Windows From Projector.EXE Files?
Hi again!

Is there any way I can open pop-up windows from an EXE file that display no menubars?

I tried the "custom_window_opener" you guys recommended me the other days and it works fine, but only when working from an embedded SWF file. I tried to make it work from a Projector file and it just didn't.

How can I open pop-up windows from an EXE file but showing no statusbar, menubar or anything but the file itself??

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!

Problem With External Files And Flash Projector For Windows
Hi,
I'm develloping this Flash 8 presentation and its working fine when I publish the swf file. However, when I play the Windows Projector for this same presentation, no external files are loaded.

There should be some text fields load from a .txt file and some .jpg files loaded by an XML file but, although working perfectly with the .swf file, no loading happens whit the .exe file.

Anyone has any idea?

thanks in advance

Loading Flash Windows Projector From Another Flash Windows Projector
I am trying to make the button in my movie load another movie, but I am playing the flash in windows projector, is it posable that you can load a flash windows projector from windows projector, I tried it and had trouble, here is what I had for the action script:

Movie 1 button action script:

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("Movie 2.exe", 0);
}

When I had it as Movie 2.swf it works fine, is it possable to make a .exe to work?

Publishing To Projector?....
I know that if I have "loadMovie" commands in a SWF, I also must have the SWF that's being loaded in the same directory as the main SWF....

BUT, if I save the project as a projector, does it wrap everything up, or do I still need to have those "loaded" SWFs in the same directory as the projector when it is being run?....

Basically, the reason I ask is because I want to e-mail out a Flash movie I made, but it uses the "loadMovie" command to load other SWFs, and I want to know if I need to e-mail those other SWFs along with the main file. Thanks!...

Publishing To Windows Media?

Problem Publishing Mac Projector
Hi everyone,

I'm currently running Flash MX on a Windows 2000 PC. I've produced a flash movie which I want to put on a cross platform CD-ROM. The problem I'm having is that Flash locks up when I try and publish the Mac Projector file. It produces the exe OK when chosen on it's own, but any publishing operation that includes a .hqx locks up the application.

Does anyone know a way round this???

P.S. I've tried loading the .fla file onto a collegues machine who runs Windows XP and it locks up in the same way when publishing the .hqx.

Thanks in advance,

Tom Millard.

Mac Projector On Windows
If I mac a mac projector file on a windows machine, will it work? Also, can I use this file to autorun on a cd? Windows is showing it as a winzip file.

Projector Windows
I have created five seperate flash movies(large file sizes about 80MB) and exported them all as projectors. Each of them were intended to play by themselves as standalones. Now the client has requested I build a flash projector with an interface that will allow a user to access any of the other five projectors in order to put it on a cd-rom.

I need to launch a new projector from a running one how can I achieve this? I would appriciate any advice. Thank you.

Windows Projector...
Is there any actionscript to make the windows projector the exact size of my document? it is always adding about 35 pixels on the bottom of it.

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:

on (release) {
loadMovie("homeintro.swf", "empty");
}

thank you

Mac Projector On Windows
Hiya

I'm building an application for a client and now he tells me he wants a Macintosh projector file as well. I'm having trouble creating the .exe for Mac on Windows XP. Flash crashed a few times while I was doing it but I did eventually manage to create a .hqx file.

Can anyone give me a few tips on how to do this and, in particular, how I can test the .hqx file?

Thanks for any help

Mac Projector From Windows
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???

Cheers,

Tom.

Windows Projector
Hey there.

My friend wanted to take a look at my flash project so I published the windows projector and sent it to him. However I noticed that the projector(although it works) does not show external movies contained within my project.

(for instance, I used the actionscript command loadMovieNum ("main.swf",1) and that movie doesn't show in the projector)

Is there any way I can this to work?

Thanks in advance,
Lex

[F8] Windows Projector From CD Help, Please
Hi.
I made a project that is launched from a cd.
Users should be able to download a pdf file from the cd to their computers.
But i don´t want it to be opened on a browser using getURL. I need the file to be saved on their computers.
I tried the FileReference class but i think it only works with web locations and not local.
Is there any way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Windows Projector
Ok, I have never published a Windows projector (stand alone) file, but I have published to SWF b4 and many times. I followed the directions in my Flash MX book, and created the Windows projector file from my Mac, but when I tried to view it the file just sat there and did nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

Windows Projector / Mp3
Hi

I am working on a flash presentation, which will be published as a "Windows projector" file.

I have a mp3 file - that I want to load. the script below works fine when testing in Flash but when the file is published as a projector the mp3 file does not load.

My script:

var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
my_sound.start();
}
}
my_sound.loadSound("hold_on.mp3", true);

Any suggestions on how to get the script to work, when publishing a projecor file?

Why Would Projector Work In Mac Not Windows
I made a simple Projector in Mac OSX and published as a windows .exe Projector and a Mac projector.
All it has is a button that opens a window .
The window can be dragged, minimized, maximized and closed all from buttons on the window.
The problem is it works on my Mac but not all windows PC's.
Some, just not all.
The one it doesn't work on opens the Projector but the button doesn't open the window when clicked.
Any ideas?

How To Antialias In Windows Projector?
Like the subject says, how do I get scaled images to appear antialiased in windows projector? I found a couple questions in this forum that cover the same thing, but I didn't find any answers.

Windows Projector (.exe) File
Hi,

I am hoping this issue I have can be resolved with AS. I have created a CD autoplay slash screen in flash, where the user can select to install an application, browse the CD drive and read the readme file. My issue is that when the user select the install button, the system asks if the user's wants to run the setup file but this is opened behind the full screen autoplay exe, which means the user either gives up because they cannot see the prompt, keeps clicking and nothing seems to happen or realises and has to ESC from full screen or close the autoplay down.

Is there a way in which focus can be taken away from the exe and given to an external prompt or window, or minimise the exe from full screen to the user's task bar. I have tried using fscommand("minimize", true); however this does not seem to work, and I am not sure if it's the correct syntax.

I appreciate any help offered.

Kind regards.

Windows Projector Size

I´m creating a exe projector for a project and I´m wondering if the movie would be too slow since there a lot of pictures on it. On a projector the movies are loaded just like on the web or all of them are loaded at the same time?

Fullscreen In Windows Projector
Hey,
I have a Flash presentation I want to autorun in full screen mode. I set this using StageScaleMode.FULL_SCREEN, and it works fine if I run the swf file. However, the exe file opens a blank full screen, and only when I exit with ESC does it show the actual movie in a regular window. Why?

Dynamic Text With Windows Projector

Popup Windows In A Projector File?
Hi,

Please could you help me and tell me how to execute a popup window that contains a swf file form a projector file, That is for a CDROM.
The get URL function will pop an html file with my swf in it but I would like to be able to size the popup window and i don't know where to put the Javascript that will do that when i create a .exe because my main flash file is not embeded in an Html page.

Thanks for the help.

Flash Projector & Popup Windows
I'm making a cd presentation with Flash and the final product will be a projector (.exe)

I'm having trouble with one thing. I would like to open a popup window from within the projector with a specified size. Since the movieclip is not embedded in an .html page, I'm having difficulty.

Doesn't anyone have any ideas? Also, would it be better if the cd presentation was created/exported with Director 8.5? - I'd have to learn it though! hehehe

Thanks a lot!!

Windows Projector To Full Screen
im putting a windows projector on a cdrom. i know how to do autorun but i do i get the windows projector to automatically go to full screen?

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.
