Auto run CD menu from Flash

Hi,
I want to create an auto run menu for One of the
installers.The requirement is that swf gets launched as soon as I
insert the first CD ,but under certain conditions it'll ask for
another cd(say 2nd CD) ...so when I take away the First CD and
insert the 2nd CD ..the Flash menu should be running .Is it
possible??
If I convert the .swf to an .exe then I know it's not
possible.Is there any other way of doing this?

It's possible, I did that few times for a client, tho not
with flash itself, you need
3rd party tools.
You see, once you remove the CD, the flash might or might not
run. It's very random.
To make sure the movie runs even if the CD is not in, you
could copy it to user drive.
I used tool call Jugglor from www.Flashjester.com
It allow to build custom installer and copy the presentation
to user drive then run it
from there. There are hundreds of other options that can help
you customize the project
like flash could never do. Check it out, I have been using it
for almost 10 years and
it was best investment ever, when comes to Flash's 3rd party
tools.
Take note tho, I do lots of CD based work :)

Problems with executing customized Run-Time menu from a sub-vi imported from the main vi.

I am having trouble executing Run-Time menu from the sub-vi.
Currently my main vi program, which is the first thing that I open up to acquire data from different sources (i.e. dll’s, scanners etc.) opens up a number of sub-vi’s.
I have created several sub-vi’s, which are opened from the main vi’s customized Run-Time menu that I have created (i.e. dsp file). I am using the open panel.vi to open other sub-vi’s. I don’t have any problems opening any number of sub-vi’s through the main vi’s menu.
I would also like to have the option to open other sub-vi’s from any sub-vi’s menu. I succeeded in exporting the Run-Time m
enu from the main vi to the sub-vi using the property node properties however nothing happens (I hear a beeping sound) when I click on the sub-vi’s menu. I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I would really appreciate it if someone can attach a sample code using Run-Time menus on sub-vi’s imported from the main vi.
Thanks
Nish

I don't actually have any VIs like this. It might be easier to take the menu and just add it to the VI during development. Then it will always be there. It might be easier than doing this with Property Nodes.

Removing menu from Flash video in Dreamweaver

I have used the Flash Encoder to convert some videos to FLA.
I am now using Dreamweaver, "Insert->Flash Video", to add a FLA
file to a web page. I got the video in fine and it plays on the
page just fine. I would like to remove the menu from the video, but
there is not an option in properties to select "none" for the flash
video menu. I also tried changing the attirbute
"&skinName=SteelExternalNoVol" to "&skinName=none" and that
made the flash video not show up.
I would also like to loop the video and that option is not
available in the Dreamweaver menu.
My code is
<script type="text/javascript">

Could someone tell me if I should be able to add parameters
to this code and get results. I have found mention of values like
<param name="loop" value="true" />
but when I used it nothing changed on playback.

I have left the question in the Flash forum for almost a
week, but not even a "Hey get a book and a clue"
I am posting it back in Dreamweaver to see if someone has any
ideas. Right now I just would like to loop the video. I found a
small menu that is not too obstructive.

Auto-run file on USB flash drive

Is it possible to Auto-run a file on USB flash drive when it is first plugged in, or when it is clicked on ?

ok, clicking on the icon of a folder can not launch anything. what you can do is make it so that when you insert the flash drive then it plays that mp3. that can be done with a folder action but I would recommend using Do Something When http://www.azarhi.com/Projects/DSW/index.php for this. it works much better than folder actions and is easier to use.

Running External Program From Flash

Is it possible to open Windows calculator (calc.exe) from
Flash much like the JumpOutReturn function in Authorware? My
apologies if this seems like a simple routine.

I'm rather new to Flash myself so I can't say whether Flash
offers the ability to "open" a 3rd party application -- but
considering what I've read I would venture to say the answer is
"no". However, if you create (or use) a simple server, you could
use Flash Sockets or XMLSocket to communicate with the server and
have the server launch the application on your behalf.

I have not used any CSS to code my website, have purely used tables in a html template.
Sorry to say, but you can't make drop-down menus without CSS code. Which begs the broader question, why are you afraid of learning CSS? It's much more efficient than tables and you can do so much more creative stuff with it.

Auto run projector file from usb key

Hey guys
I was wondering if anyone has written an .inf file that will
automatically start a projector file when a usb key is inserted
into the usb port.
Thanks

i am not sure if you mean a .swf file or the .exe standalone
file.
either way this should work. just replace the 'yourfile.exe'
with your exe/swf file. Hope this helps.
[autorun]
open=yourfile.exe
icon=yourfile.exe

Auto Run in Flash

Hi,
Is it possible to create an Auto Run cd in Flash without having any extra software? I want to be able to create a cd that runs automatically with buttons on the menu that will take the user to individual files? Do I need special software to do this?
Thanks for your help!

You can't for the Macintosh. The ability to autorun a cd was removed after a security issue under OS9 back in the 90s. Since OSX came out it is not possible to make an autorun CD.
But perhaps you were thinking of that other platform....
In many cases it is possible you just need to create an ini file or something like that. I can't remember exactly but I have done it before and it is easy. You can easily search with google to find out how.
However a lot of folks have disabled the feature in windows as well since it is such a security risk. So you should have an alternate plan to make it easy for your users to start it on their own as well.

Try below steps once
click Gear icon on the top Right corner and Quit Creative Cloud App
Click on Finder and then hold Command + Shift + G keys on your keypad
It will open Go to folder window, type exactly ~/Library and click on Go
Make sure to open ~/Library not /Library ( there will be two Library folders )
Then open Application Support > Adobe folders
Trash AAMUpdater and OOBE folders.
Then launch Creative Could and check.

Run a Report from a Forms Menu

I have a brain teaser,
I am trying to run a report from a forms menu item. Here
is my menu item code:
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,
'C:\Documents and Settings\Bradley\My Documents\A_THESIS\Reports\AUCTION_EVENT_REPORT',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,'',NULL);
When I call on the menu item it works for a while and then a Reports Background Engine error message says:
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Bradley\My Documents\A_THESIS\Reports\AUCTION_EVENT_REPORT'.
REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document.
REP-0110: Unable to open file
Any ideas?
Any help appreciated,
Bradley

Frank,
I tried it at C:\AUCTION_EVENT_RPT with the same result.
Do you ever run Reports from a form? If so how do you do it?

Running a java applet from flash

Hi,
How do you run a java applet from within a Flash movie?
Is it necessary for the user to download a java interpreter, or is there an interpreter somehow built into their browser that can run applets?

I was wondering , I don't know too much about Flash
I remember seeing some classes in amongst the Flash
files when it installed , but couldn't tell you whart they
do (at the moment , but you've got me interested)
maybe you should rethink your strategy for building your page (and your movie) maybe build the movie around
your applet , or preload it then replace a an area of your movie area with your applet (the way you handle rollovers).
the advantage is you can make calls to applet methods
from Flash as it supports Javascript.
jus remember to set the scriptable <PARAM> to true
Users shouldn't have to download the plug-in or JRE
you should specify it in the OBJECT or EMBED tag so
if they don't have it , the browser will tell them.
of course this is going to change as Microsoft are stopping support for JAVA , users will then have to download the plug-in from Sun in order to view or use JAVA on the internet.

In LV6.1, can I get the run-time menu refnum of a VI from the VI Path?

Actually, for any version of LabVIEW, can I get the run-time menu refnum from the VI Path (or the VI reference)?
Thanks!
Enrique

I just thought of a workaround...you could have a Menu Bar Ref indicator on your main VI front panel. When your VI runs, you could have the Current VI's Menubar function wire the refnum into that indicator. Then, in your subVI that has the VI reference, you could use VI Server to read the value of that indicator, then cast the value into a refnum wire, then you'd have access to the menubar reference in the subVI without having to pass it in to a subVI terminal. Would that work?
Oh, another simpler idea would be to simply wire the Menubar reference into a global, and read that global in the subVI.
