Director and Flash Paper

Question

Hi Adobe forums,
I've just about putting the finishing touches together for an
interactive CD at work using director 1.0.11. I've provided users
with a print button that then in theory should open the
corresponding flash paper file and then the user can just print out
what ever he or she wants.
Don't ask me why I used flash paper over pdf, it was
something new and I wanted to try it out. It works fine on my
machine but when I burn the projector and accompanying swf and xtra
folder to cd it won't work on other machines.
I'm guessing this is a Flash Xtra problem, but I've already
selected Flash Assest and Flash Asset Options X32 via modify >
movies > xtras but this doesn't seem to solve the problem. To
handle the opening of this file I've also downloaded and installed
BuddApi as well.
Here's the code I use to open the swf file:
property pFile
global gDelimiter
on getPropertyDescriptionList
description = [:]
addProp description,#pFile, \
[#default:"test.swf", \
#format:#string, \
#comment:"Type the full filename to open: Example: test.swf"]
return description
end
on mouseEnter me
-- sets the cursor to the hand
cursor 280
end
on mouseLeave me
-- sets the cursor to default
cursor -1
end
on mouseUp me
--- setting the file path to go to, you need to put your
folder name or file structure in.
--- the moviepath is the path to the actual .exe file. So you
just need to
--- add the structure from that point on. In the below case
there is a
---folder called "pdf_files" in the same directory as the
.exe
sPath = the moviePath & "swf_files" & gDelimiter
& pFile
--- & is simply appending each item, so it is appending
pdf_files to the
---existing path, and then appending
--- gDelimiter which is either a \ or : and then finally
appending the name of
---your file
baOpenFile(sPath, "Maximised")
--- buddyAPI command you will have to download and install
buddy API
---Xtra. It is free, do a google search for BuddyAPI and the
site will come
---up, simply download the appropriate version and place in
your Xtras
---folder.
cursor -1
end
If anybody could point me in the right direction I would be
very grateful.

Answer 1

Thats the strange thing, at work all machines are set up the
same way via an image ripped down to them when they are first
configured. Part of the standard desktop image is the Flash Plugin.
For some strange reason the .swf file isn't recognised on the
CD. Drag the associated file to the users computer and the file is
recognised.
I'll give the error reporting alert a try and feedback the
results. It might be that I just have to embed the Flash Paper
within the Director Projector.
If anybody else has any ideas I would be very grateful.
