Opening A Html Window From A Projector .exe
k, i've been searching on the boards and i've tried 2 peices of code, this one:

Code:
on(release){
geturl("javascript:window.open('3dmeche.html','3D mech 1.0','width=400 height=300 scrolling=1');void(0)");
}
and this one:

Code:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.open('3dmeche.html','3D meche 1.0','width=500,height=400');void(0);");
}
neither of them are working, the html files are in the same directory as the .exe file. i'm going to use it in a interactice cd thing, are their any codes i could use?

thx, squid.

Opening A New Window (with Variables) From A Projector File.....
I have a projector file that on a button click, needs to open a html window with particular attributes, ie size, scrolling, etc. I am able to open a plain html window with no issue. However, if I try and open a window with attributes, I get one full size html window, which then seems to open the sized window I wanted in the first place.

If the movie is in an html doc, it works fine and only opens one window. But when it is exported as a projector file, it opens two. Any way around this? Below is the code I am using to open the window.

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow('http://clients.aismedia.com/formtest2.htm','newWin','width=550,height=460,left =0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=Yes,sta tus=No,resizable=Yes,fullscreen=No');");
}

Launch The QT Installer From A Flash Projector
Dear all,

I am wanting to launch the Quicktime installer on OSX from a Flash Projector. Nothing I do seems to work. The following seems to work with most other applications and something similar works fine on OS9 but not with the Quicktime installer on OSX

on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "QuickTime 6.3 for 10.2.dmg");
}

I have tried making the installer into a .sitx file, shortening the name to just "QuicktimeInstaller.dmg just about everything but I get no response when I click the button I have created.

Does anybody know how to launch the QT installer from a Flash projector. Any assistance is appreciated.

cheers Tony

Create Screensaver For A Projector File
I've got a projector file.

To prevent burn-in on some displays, I'd like to have a screensaver kick-in (in my case a seperate external SWF) if either no mouse or keyboard action occurs after so many minutes. Then upon any key or mouse movement the screensaver would disappear.

I know I need to use the getTimer() but am not sure how to go about it. Any tutorials on this or direction would be appreciated.

Express Installer In A Popup Window

Can someone please help me with this?

Flash Projector Changes From Full Screen To Windowed After Exiting Screensaver
I've created a flash projector that displays a companies product catalog on a 50" touch screen plasma display.
It looks great and plays great if I launch the projector and force it to full screen.
However, since this is a plasma, screen burn in is a major issue to contend with.
I've set the Windows screensaver to activate after one minute of inactivity.
The problem is that when the screensaver is exited by a touch, the flash projector that was running in full screen mode is now back in windowed mode so CTRL-F has to be hit to force it to full screen again.
This isn't good.
So, I guess my question is two-fold:
Is it possible to programatically force the projector to full screen mode so that no user intervention is required? (fscommand works on the first launch, but when the screensaver kicks in, all bets are off.)
And/Or
How would I go about creating a timer to activate an internal screensaver and insert it into the actionscript for the XML gallery?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick

Opening A PDF From A Projector?

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).

Opening A Projector With A Projector
Hello ladies and gentlemen!

I have a nice little problem and maybe someone out there can give me a hand. I'm trying to find some sort of a solution for getting one projector.exe to popup on top of another projector.exe.

I've got it up and running, but I need to position the window in a particular place (pretty much centered). Is there any way to open a projector and tell it where to draw the window??

thanks,
rami

Opening SWF Or Projector From Within SWF Or Projector?
I am working on my portfolio and planning on adding some links to flash projects. Trying to figure out how to open (seperately) another swf file or flash projector file from within my swf or flash projector file. I want to be able to open it and still have my portfolio file open.

I have had some experience with fscommands before, not sure if this is a way that it can be done.

Any ideas or words of wisdom??

[F8] Opening PDFs From PC Projector (.exe)
Opening PDF file with PC Projector
Hello-

I have created a CD Presentation in Flash Professional 8 on a Mac running OSX 10.4.9.

Problem: I need to create a PC Projector (.exe) that has buttons that will link to and open up PDFs on the PC automatically when the buttons are clicked.

I have read that the FSCommand to open up an exec is not setup to open specific files, but rather, to open up applications. I have tried creating a .bat file that calls the PDF file, and then using a FSCommand to call the .bat file, but this doesn't seem to be working... the PC seems to looks for the file, but can't find it. I've read that you have to put the files into a subfolder called "fscommand" -- does this apply to both the .dat files and the .pdf files?

I also thought I could use a GetURL command to tell the PC's browser to open the PDFs, but I'm not sure if this is foolproof (especially since the presentation opens fullscreen, and I'm not sure if the browser will automatically open in a new window over top of the Flash projector screen).

Can anyone help me accomplish my goal? I need to get Mac specific instructions on how to create the PC projector files...

Thanks for any help!

Opening An App Or Exe From A Flash Projector
Hi everyone:
How can I open a exe application from a flash projector. I am burning a project to a CD and I need (in AS3) to call out run an EXE when the user clicks a button.
I tried using the code below, but what it does is it prompts the user to either run or download. If the user clicks run, the prompts them that EXE are dangerous...blah, blah....How can I make the EXE run from the CD automatically when the user clicks on the "search" button without any notices (like other CDs do)?

I cant find this anywhere. I know in AS2 you can use fscommand, but I read on line that this is not supported anymore.
thank you for your help.

Rafael.

Opening A PDF File From A Projector/SWF ?
I have this project that requires opening pdf's in acrobat reader that needs to be burned on a CD ROM as a self contained EXE. So I am designing this in flash with buttons that will open pdf's, then I'm exporting this as a swf and importing that into Director and then exporting it as an exe. Why you ask... it seems when I export the flash file as an exe, it needs flash player installed to open the exe. This project needs to be burned on a cd rom and as a stand alone player that will open pdf's in reader.

So my question; Is there an easier way to do this? and How?
2nd, what is the code to open a pdf file from a flash swf/projector in (A.) Acrobat reader or (B.) explorer.

please help...

Opening A Director Projector

Thanks so much!

Opening A Pdf In A Browser With A Projector
this is the last question regarding this stupid CD (i hope). Thank you to all who helped me solve the email issue, the mailto command worked perfectly.

New issue is that i have 3 pdf's that have to open from within this CD-ROM. It is to be a cross platform CD, so im opening these pdf's from a browser with the getURL command instead of writing applescript & creating *.bat files to use with the fscommand in order to get Acrobat to open.

So far so good except my good friend firefox doesnt open these pdf's unless it's already open. if ff is open they open in a new tab. if ff is closed and the app has to open the browser, ff comes up with a blank screen (no errors, no tabs, just a plain white screen)

the coding on the buttons is pretty simple: (yes, i know, its not best practice but i'm trying to keep this as quick & easy as possible as it is a component of a larger entity)

Code:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("pdf");
getURL("business_plan.pdf", "_blank");
}

i defaulted every browser and firefox is the only one i have this issue with.

Load .swf Or Projector In New Window From Another Projector
i am trying to put together a CD with my portfolio... i have the main movie playing from a projector and i want to show some samples of flash movies i have made. is there any way i can load them into a new window rather than having them load into the same window as the main movie?

if not... here is my other problem... one of my movies plays music using:

loop = new sound();
loop.attachSound("loop");
loop.start(0, 100);

the problem is, when i try to load the movie with this music into the existing window on level 1 it will not play the music, but all sounds on the timeline play fine.

any help is appreciated...

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??

Opening A Pdf With A Batch File From The Projector
Hi, I read that if you create a bat called launcher.bat like:

START presentations/presentation.pps

then link to it via:

on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "launcher.bat");
}

it would launch the file. It used to work in Flash 5. But it does not in MX. I heard that there was something like having to put things in a folder called fscommand - but I can't remember, or make it work.

Unfortunatly I cannot use SWF sudio for this. Does anyone know how to make it happy?

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.
