Launching A Word File From Flash Projector
Hello
I am working on a projector for a cdrom project, and they want an option to launch a word file containing information directly from the Projector.
The word files will be burned to a cdrom along with the projector. What's the most efficient way to launch one of the word files? I tried using the GetURL feature, thinking it would simply try to launch the file, but it doesnt recognize it.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks! Jenn

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?
PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE:
confused:
Or another question would be Can you still write batch file for Windows XP? and if so where can I find out what the code is... because it is obviously different than Windows 98 and 2000..

Open Flash Projector From Another Projector
I've got several flash movies I've made that are all .exe projector files. I want to keep them this way because a couple of the features I have only work from this. I need to make a portfolio of all my work and want to create either a .swf but preferably a .exe file with al my links. Each link will then be connected to each .exe project. Is this possible and how can I do it? Obviously can't do it with html due to security risks but surely it can be done from flash?!

FS Command To Open Word Docs From The Flash Player?
Hello.
Is there a simple FS command to open word docs from the flash player. The Flash player is running fullscreen, therefore the word docs have to load on top. 'Get URL' doesn't work sufficiently here. I'd be really grateful of some pointers on this (or even just the code). The finished product will run off a CD ROM. I'm running Flash 8, but code from previous versions would be great too.
Many thanks.

Open Big Jpg Images From Flash Projector
Hello all,
I am working on a photo gallery cd, the user will have the option to download the high Res format. a folder on the cd contains all high res images in jpg format.
Now the problem is that I want the user to get one image at a time, that is to be able to save the image on his hard disk after seeing it in the viewer. What i did is that i made a link to the big image from flash that'll open in in IE (using getURL) but the thing is that BIG images (above 1.8 MB) can't open in IE
So, i want something, maybe an exe that can be launched from flash and that'll be given a parameter to open a photo. If any one has another idea or solution please let him share it here.
thanks alot!

Help How To Open PDF File Within Flash Projector?
I am creating a Flash projector to work on a CD for a client to distribute. There has to be a listing of their PDF's in the flash program, that when clicked, will open the actual PDF in a separate window. I found one comment in this site to use "GetURL", but found out it is ONLY for HTML. There was mention of setting up the FSCommand to open another application, such as a PDF file, but how? I have the files in the same directory and tried putting the file name in the "GetURL" (the PDF file), but just freezes when trying to open. Can you help?
Also, is there a way they can drag and drop the PDF files to the desktop, that has the listings of the PDF's and save to the hard drive?

[Help] Open PDF In Mac OsX Flash SWF/projector -unique Question Not Covered Elsewhere
Just to start off with: YES i have searched the forums for this exact answer, BUT everyone seems to skirt around the issue and/or do not address the specific conditions I'm asking about.
I'd appreciate a definitive answer.
First off I would like a link in a swf and/or projector (preferred) to open a pdf in either a web browser or acrobat reader on the mac osX platform.
So far I have attempted to use a getURL on the link and the following occurs on its respective browser:
Safari: Opens up a finder window and highlights/focuses on the pdf that I linked to.
Internet Exporer: Status bar says it is getting info on the file, but the file never loads and/or it says it cannot find the file.
(I am positive the getURL is accurate and its not the formatting that is at fault; It works well on the pc platform)
For some reason the getURL function does not cause osX to automatically load acrobat reader with the proper PDF. My only guess is that perhaps acrobat and the browser plugin arn't flushed out?
In addition, I am aware that I COULD write an applescript that opens the pdf and have that applescript called by a fscommand in flash -- but I'm hoping that is my last resort as it seems prone to error and outright clunky.
I would appreciate an light anyone could shed.

[AS3]How To Open An URL In The Default Browser From A Flash Standalone Projector .exe
Hi,
we are developing a small application wih Flash CS3 which will be released as a standalone Flash Projector.exe.
We want to have a link to our website in the flash application that should open our webpage in the Default Browser of the System.
We tried:
PHP Code:
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"),"_blank");
But when I click on that link in our standalone.exe, on my system "ultraedit" gets opened and it tries to open a path on the local system and the webpage adress after that. "C:ProjectsInflationhttp:\www.google.de".
What are we doing wrong?

Open .html Pop-up Window ABOVE Flash Projector File
I'm using getURL(); to pop open a new window from a projector file but the projector is taking hierarchy over the pop-up window. I need the window to appear ABOVE the projector file. I've heard you need third party software to do this (something like freeMX) but i'm wondering if someone has another solution.

Loading Word File From Projector
Can someone please tell me how I can launch a specific word document from a projector file that I intend to run from CD.
I have a main .exe file that is loading in .swfs and from these swfs I need to be able to load a specific word document.
I have tried a couple of methods, using getURL and hyperlinking dynamic text but this either doesn't work at all, or opens in browser window (varies with different machines). I have also tried using:
filename = "test.doc";
fscommand ("exec", "start " + filename);
fscommand ("exec", "cmd /c "+filename);
but this just did nothing.
So if anyone has an idiot proof explanation i'd be very grateful.
Cheers
