An FSCommand Question

I've used the FSCommand to make my presentation run in full
screen. The .swf file runs in full screen when executed locally in
a browser. But when run from the Internet, the same .swf runs in a
window. What would be causing it to work locally but not when
running from the Internet?

fscommand silkscreens is not for browser use.
This is specifically design for stand alone EXE projectors.
It never worked in browser, whether locally or over Internet.
Most likely you preview the SWF file itself which by default
opens
using the standalone player. That is why you see it working
on
your desktop. In browser you will need to use old school Java
scripts
to pop the window full size.

A question about fscommands

I have aquestion about the fscommand exec:
I need to run an app, and it all works...
now, I neet do run it with an argument. For example if I run
it using command prompt I'll write:
myApp.exe 7
And I didn't find a way to run it with an argument....
any suggestions?

Help! Total newbie question...

I want to make a flash form where the viewer/user can watch a video clip of their choice (from a drop-down control or something else if there's a better way).
I've found myself totally unable to find our how to do this. I mean, frankly, I don't even know what kind of file to start from the "New..." form at the beginning of Flash (CS 3.0, btw)!
I know how to create a Flash Player and link it to a single video. What I envision is that after the page comes up, with a single player component (initially empty), the user chooses a video from the drop-down list and that video starts playing in the player.
I guess I have these questions-
What kind of file should I be starting with? {I kinda assume I'll be making an SWF to put on a web page.}
Where on earth do I learn how to get the simplest things (e.g., button clicks, etc.) to work?
Could any of y'all please offer suggestions where I could find a sample of something similar? -OR-
Could any of y'all give me an example of how to do (code?) this?!?!
I apologize for such dumb questions, but while I'm quite experienced with Premiere, Encore, Photoshop, etc., I am definitely NOT used to Flash!
Thanks in advance!

This is going to be a pretty big learning curve for someone with no Flash experience. But, sometimes the best way to learn is to just dive in and start the project.
I'd recommend using the help and tutorials for a while. You'll need to learn how to create buttons, use ActionScript, and more. My best guess is that you'll need to house each video file on your server with a unique location (URL) then create a pull-down button (or some method of selecting the files) that calls each specific video when the user selects it. I'm assuming you'll need to use a browser fscommand to loadMovie, but someone else may set me straight on that. My experience is limited in this specific task, but I think it might give you someplace to start looking.

Fscommand exec problem

Hello everybody,
I know similar questions have been many times asked on this forum, and I've read them and tried the diffrent solutions proposed, without attaining my goal.
My goal is to launch a software some_software.exe with an executable projector created with Flash in ActionScript 3.
The software some_software.exe must absolutely be in a sub-subfolder compared to the position of the projector launcher.
I've tried many things I read on this forum and others, like :
fscommand("exec","Products/some_software/some_software.exe")
or
fscommand("exec","./Products/some_software/some_software.exe")
or
fscommand("exec",".//Products/some_software/some_software.exe")
I know very well that it is said in Flash MX CS3's help file that the executable to launch some_software.exe must be in a fscommand folder.
I have tried :
fscommand("exec","Products/some_software/fscommand/some_software.exe")
with no more success.
I have also tried to launch some_software.exe in a sub-sub-folder from a batch file .bat.
During my direct tests while launching the batch file, this one containing :
@ echo off
start Products/some_software/some_software/some_software.exe
exit
The batch file worked fine, even with paths in the subfolders very deep.
But when I launch the .bat file indirectly, with the Flash projector, in which I wrote :
fscommand("exec","batch_file.bat")
the batch file seems to open very briefly the black MS-DOS subscreen, this subscreen disappearing immediately, and some_software.exe was never launched !
Did anyone have the same problem ? Were you able to make it work ?
If it's the case, many thanks by advance if you can show me a solution to my problems, or, even better, if you can propose the sources of your solution compressed in a .zip file !
Many thanks for your help,
Roland

Having an argument with FSCommand.

Well...I feel like I've graduated. I've been using Flash for
a little while now and I'm learning a lot. I've been posting
questions in the General Flash Discussion. Now I have an
Actionscript question so I've moved up to this forum.
Let me lay out the scenario and then explain what I'm trying
to do.
I'm creating a CD that will automatically launch my Flash
presentation for prospects to view. I'm running it as a .swf file
in the standalone Flash Player for a couple of reasons. One reason
is that the Autorun will launch my presentation from an Internet
URL and the browser won't run a .exe file.
The Autorun feature of the PC will only launch executable
programs. However, it won't let me use arguments, so I can't open
Flashpla.exe <filename>.
Here's how I propose to resolve the challenge. I will create
a small Projector file to include on the CD, which I will open
using Autorun. About the only thing the Projector file will do is
to access the .swf file from the Internet and open it in the Flash
standalone player.
Using the FSCommand action with the exec command, I can open
Flashpla.exe but I'm still having a problem loading the .swf file.
It seems I can't use "Flashpla.exe <filename.swf> with the
FSCommand exec command.
Any thoughts or ideas? Thanx.

I'm not entirely sure what you guys are having problems with,
but I am doing something similar. Basically, I'm creating a Flash
menu which will autorun when a user inserts a disk into their
computer. But in order to do that, I created an exe using Visual
Basic which has an ActiveX Flash component. You might find that
something similar will work well. It's a standalone exe, so it
should have no problems executing on any Windows system with Flash
installed. It should also be able to load any movie, though that is
more on the Visual Basic side of the coding than the Flash side. As
for saving something to text files, I'm under the impression that
Flash itself has a very limited capability for writing information
to files. However, it should be able to send long, extended,
fscommands to the "wrapping" Visual Basic exe. The exe can create
the file and write out to it, while the Flash animation tells the
exe what to write. You can include arguments to fscommand:
fscommand("command", "arguments");
But I don't know if this will help - or if it is even
relevant ^^;.

Beginners Scripting Question

Hi
I want to do the following:
get the URL the form is hosted at from the browser
Is this possible?
e.g.:
xfa.host.messageBox(XXX , "User Feedback", 3);
What do I need to put at XXX to get the url the form is hosted at?
Thanks
Kropotkin
Ps. a further question would be can i interact with the browser in the same way that Flash can with FSCommand? e.g. could i get the value of a hidden field?
Thanks

It sounds to me like the applications you are trying to install are provided in the form of a disk image. From the Mac Help:
"A disk image is a copy of the contents of a disk, volume, or folder. Disk images have the filename extension “.dmg” at the end of their names. To see the contents of a disk image, you must first open, or “mount,” the disk image, which makes it appear on the desktop or in a Finder window. To open a disk image, double-click the image [.dmg file] on your desktop or in a Finder window."
In the case of an application, you then follow the instructions for installation. It may be as simple as dragging the application to the Mac's Applications folder, or there may be an installer to run or some other procedure you need to follow.
To remove an application, again consult the app's documentation. For some applications, you can just throw it in the Trash, but others have a more complex uninstallation procedure.

LMS-Scorm template What to use in fscommand in fla?

Please help! I have search and read and nothing has seemed to
answer this question. I have created a complete/incomplete module
(no score needed...just show completed when user finishes) and
published it with Flash w/Scorm 1.2 tracking template. The movie
plays in the LMS but I still need something for my FLA that will
show it as complete in the last frame. Here what the scorm template
shows...
// Change g_bSetCompletedAutomatically to true if you want
the status to
// be set to completed automatically when calling LMSFinish.
Normally,
// this flag remains false if the Flash movie itself sets
status
// to completed by sending a FSCommand to set status to
"completed",
// "passed" or "failed" (both of which imply "completed")
var g_bSetCompletedAutomatically = false;
I need to know the script to set the status to "complete"
using an FSCommand in my FLA. I'm not an AS guru (surprised, huh?)
so need the format in plain language. Maybe this is so simple I
can't see it? I don't have direct contact with the LMS and just
forward files so I don't know anything about it (Pathlore). I know
there are newer things in 8 but just need this to work. HELP!

I am in the same boat. If anyone can help out with this, that
would be great!!!...

Javascript, FSCommand, and VBScript

Hi all,
So I have a flash question that has been bothering me for
about a month and I can't seem to find a resolution. I constructed
a pretty standard mp3 player (using actionscript 2) for a few music
websites. The mp3 player is the same on three different sites other
than the skin colors. The problem is that some computers it may
work, but most it does not work.
I believe the error or inconsistency is some where in the
Javascript, FSCommand, or VBScript coding. I use these langauges to
communicate with the flash mp3 player for selecting/playing the
song and for denoting which song is selected.
The websites are:
art pacheco (click
on the listen page)
third
wheel
troy born
The informaiton is mp3 information is spit out from an MySQL
database. I attached the general code I'm using to add the player
to these sites. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your time and consideration, Ryan.

Hi
I'm not surprised they left.
aspx pages are Microsoft's .net pages which is completely different to asp. Using both on the same page will depend on your server set-up, but javascript is not a language you can use for aspx, and I would not recommend mixing them except for the most basic usage.
Your choices for aspx are - C#, vbscript, C++, Java++,, there are a few others but I have never heard of anyone using them.
You can use javascript for your client-side, (browser) scripting language though.

Fscommand to powerpoint

Someone on here is going to kill me for this question.....
I've been looking around on the internet for about 2 1/2
hours, and toying around in Flash, and I can't get this to work.
I need to embed a Flash SWF into a slide in Powerpoint, and
have a button in the SWF tell powerpoint to go to a different
slide. So, as a Proof-of-concept, here is the code in the SWF. (I
tried it as AS3 and AS2, currently AS2)
Btn.onPress = function(){
fscommand("ChangeSlide","8");
No big whoop, right. When you press the button, execute this
fscommand.
Then, on the powerpoint slide, I have the following VBScript:
Private Sub myFlash_FSCommand(ByVal command As String, ByVal
args As String)
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.GotoSlide (args)
End Sub
So, in theory, when the fscommand is called, move the active
presentation to slide "args" - which is what is passed in.
What happens, instead, is nothing. The presentation just sits
there.
Does anyone know how to do this, or what I am doing wrong?
I have the standalone Player 10

How can you run an executable from AS2 code without using fscommand() or a projector?

Just using some short .asc files made out of Notepad for some back-end server stuff, but without using fscommand() or projectors, how can you call an executable? There's a C++ program that I want to run from more-or-less the same directory as the .asc files, which handles some logging, and I need to be able to pass it arguments when telling it to run.
Please note that I have Googled this with no useful results and that I'm on an assignment that necessitates this question. Also I'm open to the possibility that it can't be done.
Thanks!

The swf is on a different server and using AS3. The little bit of AS2 back-end stuff is on a few different servers that the swf is hooking up to for streaming video and audio. The executable would be on the AS2 servers.

Combobox and fscommand

Hello,
I'm on a CD-ROM and I have a combobox managed by xml, so far
nothing bad.
My problem is that I have to open a pdf / excel / word with
FScommand to avoid opening the browser.
My question is how to operate the FScommand my xml variable
compared to combobox?
I want to remplace
getURL for fscommand but don't work...
sorry for my english...
Thx

do you know a tutorial on this?Did you read the API for either JComboBox or JList????????
Both contain links to the Swing tutorial.
And why is it so difficult to post a Swing related question in the Swing forum???????

Questions on Print Quote report

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle Quoting and trying to get familiar with it. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone answers them
1) We have a requirement to customize the Print Quote report. I searched these forums and found that this report can be defined either as a XML Publisher report or an Oracle Reports report depending on a profile option. Can you please let me know what the name of the profile option is?
2) When I select the 'Print Quote' option from the Actions drop down in the quoting page and click Submit I get the report printed and see the following URL in my browser.
http://<host>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?PROJ03_APPS+report=/proj3/app/appltop/aso/11.5.0/reports/US/ASOPQTEL.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+P_TCK_ID=23731428+P_EXECUTABLE=N+P_SHOW_CHARGES=N+P_SHOW_CATG_TOT=N+P_SHOW_PRICE_ADJ=Y+P_SESSION_ID=c-RAuP8LOvdnv30grRzKqUQs:S+P_SHOW_HDR_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_LINE_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_HDR_SALESUPP=N+P_SHOW_LN_SALESUPP=N+TOLERANCE=0+DESFORMAT=RTF+DESNAME=Quote.rtf
Does it mean that the profile in our case is set to call the rdf since it has reference to ASOPQTEL.rdf in the above url?
3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
Thanks and Appreciate your patience

No, there is no conc program getting called, you can directly call a report in a browser window, Oracle reports server will execute the report and send the HTTP response to the browser.4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
This is detailed in many threads.Thanks

Satellite P300D-10v - Question about warranty

HI EVERYBODY
I have these overheating problems with my laptop Satellite P300D-10v.
I did everything I could do to fix it without any success..
I get the latest update of the bios from Toshiba. I cleaned my lap with compressed air first and then disassembled it all and cleaned it better.(it was really clean insight though...)
BUT unfortunately the problem still exists...
So i made a research on the internet and I found out that most of Toshiba owners have the same exactly problem with their laptop.
Well i guess this is a Toshiba bug for many years now.
Its a really nice lap, cool sound (the best in laptop ever) BUT......
So I wanted to make a question. As i am still under warranty, can i return this laptop and get my money back or change it with a different one????
If any body knows PLS let me know.
chears
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have already found you other threads.
Regarding the warranty question;
If there is something wrong with the hardware then the ASP in your country should be able to help you.
The warranty should cover every reparation or replacement.
But I read that you have disasembled the laptop at your own hand... hmmm if you have disasembled the notebook then your warrany is not valid anymore :(
I think this should be clear for you that you can lose the warrany if you disasemble the laptop!
By the way: you have to speak with the notebook dealer where you have purchased this notebook if you want to return the notebook
The Toshiba ASP can repair and fix the notebook but you will not get money from ASP.

Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either. I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either. Anybody...?
Thanks!

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory
