What´s Up With Exec On MX?
Sorry, but I had to let my rage get off my chest.

I hate the way the exec command works now on the MX. Why on earth has an external application to be on a subfolder fscommand? It just SUCKS! Especially for people, like me, who use the projector to make CD-ROMs and have several applications to launch from this projector file.

For example: I have about 5 softwares from my company and I have to launch each with it´s video, demo version and other stuff (in this case several examples of engeneering). It´s more organized if I divided each program into their own subfolder than put all into one gigantic mess of a fscommand folder!

Plus it´s a lame excuse Macromedia uses to do this: "This security restriction helps prevent malicious use of the exec option.". So the rest of us are penalized for others using flash options wrongly?

So, even tough I think MX is really cool and I´d like to use it, I have to stick with Flash 5 for now.

Again, I had to get off this of my chest.

How To Use Exec
1)What kind of applications can i run with
Fscommand ("exec",path); ?

2) Maybe someone can give me an advice about any tool that can edit sound files like wav or midi ?

Thank you.

Exec?
I'm using the exec command to load an external .exe from another .exe, I've put the external .exe in a folder called fs command and nothing happens when I try to load it, any ideas? cheers.

Exec's And Php's ?
Okay, maar hoe kan ik het volgende probleem dan oplossen?
Ik wil een programma maken (*.exe of *.swf), die via fscommand een executable "xxx.exe" opstart, maar het moet ook kunnen werken met php.

xxx.exe is niet op te roepen als ik het via swf doe.. toch?
php is niet zonder server op te starten, dus niet via flashfile.exe?

Hoe zou ik dit op kunnen lossen?

are you 24 hours a day on line? can I contact you inthe mornings?

FScommand Exec
FScommand("exec","some.exe") works.
FScommand("exec","http://127.0.0.1/some.exe") doesn't.

does "some.exe" have to be on the same HD as the Flash Projector for "exec" to work?

Or can we use a http or Network address for it?

Thanks

FS Command For Exec
Hello:
I am trying to call the following file with the fs command using exec.
The autorun file for CD ROM uses open=visualtour1.exe index.lyx
If I just try calling the exe file by itself, a window comes up asking to tell it where the index.lyx file is.
I've tried using different operators, but the closest I can come is to call up the exe file, looking for the index.lyx file.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks.

Exec With Fscommand
I am trying to do two things

I would also like to open .pdf's like a link any suggestions. I tried the geturl with no luck.

I am burning this to a cd and will not be place within html

Using Exec To Run Launcher.bat, Is There Another Way?
Is there a way to launch files ( like .doc .pdf .ppt files from within flash) with out using batchfiles.

running a batchfile from your flash is not very pretty, as you get a dos window breifly as it is used to launch the file that flash wont.

anyone know anything else that could work like a batch file, or a way to just hide it...

How Do You Use Fscommand Exec On Mac?

Exec Help On CD Navigation
Hey everybody!
So I'm trying to get the exec command to work on the interface for a CD that someone else created. All the code is the same as when he set it up and I named the new file the same as the old and put it back in, so technically everything should work the same, but none of the files work at all. The .bat files always open the PDFs to which they are assigned if you open them up outside the navigation and the navigation on the EXE file published by Flash works within itself, but if you try clicking on the link within the navigation it opens the dos window for a split second then nothing happens. I'm not sure if it's something that the people in charge of burning the CD will take care of or if it's something on my end (which I'm guessing it is). Any advice?
Here's the code that I've been using:
on (release) {
fscommand("EXEC", "DDR_CIB.BAT");
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Fscommand Exec
This one's a bit weird. I know a lot of other people have had problems getting fscommand exec to work. I had it working nicely using a trial of Flash 9, but with AS2.0. Nonetheless, my trials were successful; by putting my files in the fscommand subdir, it worked a charm.

Earlier this week, my work *finally* purchased the copy of Web Premium I've been requesting for three months now. This made me one happy little worker! So, I installed it all (including uninstalling and reinstalling the trial version of Flash 9 I had, as it wasn't being recognised as part of the suite), and kept on going with a Flash projector that I was doing in the old Flash 9.

It wasn't until I thought it was finished and published it to do a final test when I realised that the fscommands no longer worked, and yet a few days ago they had. My code hasn't changed, and I tried out a test in a new document to no avail.

Anybody else found a similar thing? And is there any talk from the officials yet about what's going on?
Cheers.

Exec With Parameters
Hey there..
I know you must be thinking "I can't believe its another question about fscommand..." but it is
Here goes:
I need to open a file in its default app, on windows XP SP2, in flashplayer 7.
I've searched and found some exe files that claim to be able to do just that, but i cant get it to work.
links:
http://www.beyondflash.com/content/ch03.htm
http://www.flashtools.net/downloads/fclt_downloads.htm

I've managed to open a given exe file from the fscommand folder, but cant get the above examples to work - i think the problem is, that i cant send parameters to the exe file.

I can't be the only one with this problem - hope guys n gals can help me out
-thanks

Fscommand(exec)
Does anyone know how to get fscommand('exec' 'Test.app'); to work? I'm on a Mac and I can't seem to launch a little test script from flash. (as3 fl9). I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find to much but dead ends. Seems like there's gotta be a way to allow mac flash projector's execute outside files in as3.

Thanks,

Cs3 & Fscommand Exec Bug
Hi everyone,

I'm using flash cs3 and am trying to make a projector which is capable of launching an external file, everything is fine, the functions syntax is fine and the content is in the right place (a sub folder called fscommand), but after some googling apparently there's a bug with cs3 where exec flat out doesn't work, fails to launch the file.

Does anyone know if adobe has released an update version of flash which fixes this?

thanks!

How To EXEC Automatically
I am having a difficult time getting a executable to launch from a Flash button. I am using the fscommand but when I hit the button, it asks what I want to do with it, Open, Save....you know the drill. How do I get it to just execute the file immediately without intervention from the user?

FSCommand Exec Not Working
Anyone know why, when I select an FSCommand and tell it to launch an exe it doesn't launch it, but when I double click on the exe it launches?

Basically I have done this

on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "blaunch.exe");
fscommand ("quit");
}

I have something like this on 5 other buttons, whenever I call another flash exe it will run that, but the exe's blaunch.exe and bookviewer.exe will not run. Anyone know why?
