Create Auto Scrolling Slideshow
I'm very new to flash and have version MX. I am trying to create an auto scrolling filmstrip slideshow of images and haven't found the right tutorial. The slideshow would just move by itself and not be affected by the mouse whatsoever. Here is the link to the slideshow I want to create. Any help would be much appreciated!

Server Software To Auto-create Flash Files?
I've done searches on Macromedia's site, but not finding what I'm looking for...
... Server software that can auto create Flash files based on a script.
Here are more specifics on what I need it to do:
On the server, a computer generated graphic illustration (TGA file probably) will be deposited into a directory from another system, once every two minutes. I need to process this file further graphically, proabably do posterization at a preset threshold. At this point, I think the file will need to be converted to vectors, though I'm not sure as there might be another way I'm not considering. This file will be concantenated with the previous 30 graphics (essentially creating a time lapse over a sixty minute periods). This time lapse will be the computer graphic over a black background, which needs to become transparent in the final assembly so a pre-made Flash background and pre-made Flash text-and-graphic overlay can be applied, and then the whole thing is made available on a website.
And, of course, this has to run continuously.
Is there a Macromedia/Flash product that can do autonomous creation in this way?
Thanks
Pat

Any help is appreciated
Thanks,

Starting An Executable...
I'm doing a CD. My main file (Interface) is an exe. Once the user presses a button in the menu, he selects a Flash Game (also an exe)
I'm currently trying to use the FScommand to open the executable, but with no luck:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "Game.exe");
}
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

How To Make An Executable
Am I off my rocker, or can you make a flash movie into an executable that you can send someone? I thought you coudl do this in Dreamweaver as well, but I'm not able to fig. it out in any of the 2 apps? If anyone could let me know how to do this, I'd be most grateful.
Thanks,
Executable Question..
Hey, first post here.. and hopefully not my last (your answers will determine whether I'll be back..)
Concisely, my boss wants to train me in an interactive CD making program, which he would rather me learn over flash because it can be self-contained, and the person who is running the CD wouldn't need to have any previously installed software on their computer.
Now obviously I'd rather use flash for this, and know that you can save flash files as Executables and can auto-run from a CD.. however.. would the person still have to already have flash installed on their PC in order to run the disk.. or is a flash .exe file self-contained?

Flash Executable
Hello!
I need to create a presentation that will run on a HP PDA with Windows Mobile 5. This application should run full screen... How should I export that projector in order to run on Windows Mobile? I've exported normal projector that runs perfectly on non mobile versions of Windows...
I've tried to make it a swf and open a html in a browser window, but I always have a title bar and a status bar of the browser on the screen and I really don't want that...
Please, suggest...
Thank you
Executable String
If I get dynamic string, example "var pict:BitmapData = new myPict(1, 1);" can I make it as executable line of code? That is how delete double quotas and start up code? (Certainly, if it's can in AS3...)
Running Swf From An Executable
I would like to use swf files as interfaces for my C++ executable files in the Windows environment. I have found a few examples of how to do this on some web sites, but I would like to know more. Specifically, I would like to know about the best way to do this with AS 3. I have tried Zinc, but it does not have the power that I need. What is the root technology that I should be looking at? ActiveX?
I assume that there are no specific books on "Using Flash Interfaces from Executable Files;" but I am looking for something definitive to study up on so that I can program this sort of thing from scratch. Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated. I am not looking for tutorials on how to do this from within Visual Studio for AS 1 or 2 files - I already know where to find those.
Run An Executable From Flash
I am trying to use Flash 5 to create a menu on my CD so I can use autorun.inf. The problem is that there are executables such as setup.exe that I want to run when I select a button. I have tried the "exex" "setup.exe" using the Fscommand and this did not work. Reading other questions, I even tried to put the setup.exe in a subfolder called fscommand and this didn't work either. Do I need to to tell flash that Setup.exe is in the fscommand folder? Does the flashmovie.exe I created, include the flash player?
If I can get this to work, I will be over the moon. Thanks.

Launching Executable From Flash
Hello, I'm not sure if this is possible, but is there a way to have Flash launch an executable. I'm working on a CD that would require launching of another application on the CD with a ".exe" extension.
I've tried 'geturl' but that opens up a browser and requires the user of the CD to launch from the location or save to disk. It also doesn't look that great.
My end result is that I would like to have the user of the CD click on a button in the flash movie and have the other application launch. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeremy

Executable Or Viewable For Recipients

Shared Libraries With Executable
I am creating a flash windows executable that sits on the desktop. The executable calls files from a web directory. The web file uses a shared library which is in the same directory and the paths to the library are set absolutely.
When I run the exe published as an swf in a browser from the web it works fine. As soon as I try to run it as an exe or standalone flash player it does not.
Any body else come up against this issue?
Simon.
How To Launch An Executable With Flash?
I'm using fscommand to try to pull this off. Here is the code I'm using on a button to launch the executable:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec","Viewer.exe");
}
If the flash SWF is in the same folder with the "Viewer.exe" (on the same level), it ought to launch - right? I tried using a path to the file first, but couldn't get the exe to launch (I have a feeling the path may not have been complete). I s this a better way around using a path to launch it?
Thanks for any help!
Executable/loadmovie Problem
I created an executable, which has several embedded action commands to loadmovie. but when running the executable, the loadmovie doesn't work. However, when simply publishing, and running either the .swf or html, the loadmovie works fine. What am I missing here?
Executable System Requirements
Hi I'm trying to create system requirements for a Flash 7 executable I'm creating.

Anyone know where to get this?
How Do I Skin My Executable Like MDM Zinc Can?
I've been checking out the MDM Zinc trial, and it's a great program. However the main thing I need is the ability to skin my executable. I use a small program for converting everything over to work as a mac/PC hybrid CDROM with autorun, then another small program for manipulating the .exe to use my own icons, change the revision numbers etc. so these aspects of Zinc are an unnecessary expense for me at this stage.
So my question is how does one frame/skin the flash window (the .exe that gets launched) without spending $299+ just for this functionality. A lengthy google search has turned up nothing. I would consider commercial software, but mostly I am interested in a way to do it by hand if possible.
Thanks in advance!!
Links In An Executable File
I made a flash tour for a product, at the end there are links. The links work fine in the flash player, and also on the website in an html page. This tour was then put on a CD as an executable file and they no longer work. The mouse over works, in this case i have a simple color change. But the cursor remains an arrow and the link does not work. Any ideas why this wouldn't work?
Help would be appreciated
thank you,

Flash Executable CD-ROM Licensing?
Does anyone know any licensing information about distributing a CD-ROM with Flash executables on it?
Macromedia is pretty clear on run-time licensing for Director executables (which is basically including the "Made with Macromedia" logo on the CD and sending in a licensing agreement form) but I can't seem to track down similar documentation for Flash executables.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Calling An Executable File
I have 2 Flash executables.
The Main Flash "Main.exe" should call the child flash "child.exe" and the child.exe has to be executed.
Can this be done?
I came to know that if we place the 'child.exe' file in a folder name 'fscommand' it is possible.
Then can I have any number of folders containing exe in it be called?
I mean to say, from 'Main.exe' can i call 'child.exe' which is in the folder 'fscommandfirstchild.exe'
Placement Of Executable On Monitor
Howdy all,
My boss keeps complaining that whenever he launches my exe (from a CD) it opens up at the bottom of the monitor. It opens up at the top left corner on mine so I'm not sure what his problem is . . .
Anyway, I saw this thread on how to place a pop up window in flash but I'm wondering if it is possible to do it with an exe?
Thanks everyone!

Executable Launches Behind Flash
I am launching a couple executable files using fscommand from a flash file that has been published as a stand-alone file. Most of the time it works perfectly, but every once in a while the executable launches behind the flash window and it appears to the user that the link didn't work. Does anyone know a fix to this? Thanks.
Self-executable Files In Flash Mx
I've created my company's website on a cd rom business card disk. The file is in "Projector" format (.exe). What I want is for it to self-execute when the user slides the cd-rom compartment into the computer. Same on exiting. When the user clicks the "exit" button the projector file closes and the cd-rom compartment slides out. How do I do it?
Many thanks
