Flash Projectors-distribute on CD

Hello. I am hoping someone can answer a question for me
regarding Flash Projectors.
We are trying to build something for CD use and are running
into a problem when trying to view them on Mac OS X machines. It
seems that unless the user as admin rights on the machine the file
won't open. Instead the error "You do not have permission to open
the application "app name" " appears instead. If I log in as an
admin user the file open fine.
Flash player is not installed on the test machine (as I was
told it isn't necessary because this is a projector file). The
non-admin user does have appliction restrictions set in the
Accounts area but there isn't anything not allowed that seems
obvious to me.
Can anyone give me a clue as to what is going on here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The application is the Projector file. It can be named
anything you want. It doesn't matter.
Yes, there is a separate Projector file for each platform.
After playing with it some more I know is has something to do
with the application restrictions in the Parental Controls area of
the restricted account. If I leave the account type as "managed"
but don't restrict any applications it works fine. However, I can
never be sure that the end user is going to be setup that way or is
an admin on their machine. I have to account for all situations but
I don't know why things are being locked out.
I'm guessing this is happening because the Projector file is
an actual application itself and is not checked as being acceptable
in the Parental list (it doesn't even show up) for that user but
there has to be a way around this. I'm sure there are many CD's
distributed out there with something similar. I just don't know how
to make it work.

Distribute Flash Projector on CD/DVD and install on local pc?

Hi,
does anybody know if its possible to distribute a Flash project as a Projector on CD/DVD, and install the CD/DVD (i.e. the Flash project) on the local computer? After installation the user should be able to start the Flash application via the Programs Menu (windows).
The Flash Projector will have external (relative) files for video, mp3, assets, data etc.
(I know AIR is an easy solution, but that probably isnt an option as there's no AIR knowledge present)
Thanks a lot in advance for any tips or sugestions.

Reading variables from a text file into a flash projector exe

I am using Flash CS4 and my script is in ActionScript2.
I am developing a flash projector file that runs when a user puts in a cd to guide them through the steps they need to install a program and then kicks off the installer.
I use fscommand to run a utility that reads the users registry to determine the PCs regional settings and then writes this to a text file in the users %temp% directory.
I then use the LoadVariablesNum command to read in the text file and get the variables.
This was working fine when I had the text file stored in a different directory, but when I try and refer to the %temp% directory, I get an Error opening file message.
Is there anyway to get flash to look in the %Temp% directory?
Thanks in advance,
Carol Lutz

Code-tags sometimes cause wonders, I replaced # with *, as the code tags interprets # as comment, which looks odd:
******...*.........To your code: Did you test it step by step, to find out about what is read? You could either use a debugger (e.g., if you have an IDE) or system outs to get a clue. First thing to check would be, if the maze size is read correctly. Further, the following loops look odd:for(int i = 0; i < maze.length; i++) {
    for(int x = 0; x < maze.length; x++) {
        if (input.hasNextLine()) {
            String insert = input.nextLine();
            maze[x] = insert.charAt(x);
}Shouldn't the nextLine test and assignment be in the outer loop? And assignment be to each maze's inner array? Like so:for(int i = 0; i < maze.length; i++) {
    if (input.hasNextLine()) {
        String insert = input.nextLine();
        for(int x = 0; x < insert.size(); x++) {
            maze[i][x] = insert.charAt(x);
}Otherwise, only one character per line is read and storing a character actually should fail.

Does Flashplayer 17 work with Windows 8.1? (Using Flash Projector)

I recently started playing a game called "Realm of the Mad God". This is a Flash based game that can be played on IE11/Chrome/Firefox and since FP17 in built-into those browsers, I have no trouble loading it. However when I try to run the game with Flash Projector, I get a "Version Loading Error". I believe this is happening since I do not have FP17 installed on my computer, just as an addon in my browsers. I currently have a Windows 8.1 desktop and I can't seem to find a download for FP17 off Adobe's website. This is the most recent link that the game uses to open.. http://www.realmofthemadgod.com/AGCLoader1424381358.swf .. Upon pasting this link into any of the three browsers listed above, the game launches near instantly. But when I launch this through Flash Projector, I get the error pasted in the image below. *Note "Hardware Acceleration" is enabled* Anyone have any ideas? Let me know if more specfic info is required.

I'd recommend downloading RotMG from Steam, this uses Adobe AIR and is supported by Wild Shadow Studios:

Opening an app or exe from a flash projector

Hi everyone:
How can I open a exe application from a flash projector. I am
burning a project to a CD and I need (in AS3) to call out run an
EXE when the user clicks a button.
I tried using the code below, but what it does is it prompts
the user to either run or download. If the user clicks run, the
prompts them that EXE are dangerous...blah, blah....How can I make
the EXE run from the CD automatically when the user clicks on the
"search" button without any notices (like other CDs do)?
I cant find this anywhere. I know in AS2 you can use
fscommand, but I read on line that this is not supported anymore.
thank you for your help.
Rafael.

Ok, Flash continues to infuriate me!
I have removed the 'settings' file parameter from my
fscommand call to see if my projector would at least launch the
.exe file, as per the following code . . .
fscommand("exec", "Ripstation Lite.exe");
But nothing happened . . .
I also tried another Windows .exe to see if it would work and
again it failed to launch anything . . .
fscommand("exec", "C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe");
This .swf is wrapped by Zinc to produce a Projector .exe file
but yet it fails to launch either .exe file! Why is this!?!?

Flash projector x-platform maddness-- Can't "show extension" in Mac OS

Hi has anyone else seen this one? Outputting flash projectors from CS4. No problem, in running the mac version on my platform. The issue is that when my associate emails the projector file from the PC it turns into a folder. I've tried to "unhide" the extension in the mac info pane (Snow leopard and Leopard) but the I can't unclick the "hide extension". The best solution I've been able to come up with is to add ".hqx" in the file name which automatically then show the ".app" extension even though the "hide extension" is still toggled on and is greyed out (not selectable)...
Is there a better solution?
thanks

Digital signature for flash projectors

I have a client that would like me to digital sign my flash projector on windows and on a mac.
Is there anyway to do this? I haven't found any resources outside of a workflow for AIR development.
any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
Some information on operation sign-off available in [help|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/da/49d9c433ff4985b2484b7b911123cf/frameset.htm]

Using flash projector on multiple screens

hi,
i have a display project for which i will be using 4 plasma
screens linked together as 1 giant screen. I'm not sure if flash's
"full screen" mode will work...and i don't know of any 3rd party
software off the top of my head that will work...
can flash or is there any 3rd party software that will allow
me to run a flash projector across multiple screen connected
together?

CS4 Flash Projector in Mac OS X Lion

I sell products which run using Flash Projector that were created with the CS4 Flash Projector and am getting complaints that they no longer work on Mac OS X Lion. I've read the Adobe Knowledge Base article about known issues (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html) but Flash Projector is not mentioned. I cannot upgrade my Mac to Lion yet for various reasons, so I cannot test the problem. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Cor-el - - Thanks! this looks like it has some good clues, BUT, in following up, my Library doesn't show me any .plist with .mozilla. in the filename. Am running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2). FYI - The Library is one of only four (4) folders in the root level on the system partition; the system partition being labeled, Mac Mini HD. These four folders are, Applications, Library, System, Users. Library folder has a subfolder named Preferences. None of the files therein has "mozilla" anywhere in the filename. Looking further, the System folder has its own subfolder labeled, Library! It has no subfolder, Preferences. Running a Finder Search on the Mac, and again on the Mac Mini HD (root folder), I get Zero (0) results with "org.mozilla.firefox.plist." Also, with Contains ".mozilla" and with Contains ".firefox.".
Will greatly appreciate a bit more hand-holding from you, if OK with you.

CS4 Flash Projector File and Authenticode (Code Signing)

I have a flash projector file (.exe) that I need to add Code Signing to it so it does not say 'Unknown Publisher' in Vista. I read that for CS3 there is no authenticode signing. Was this added in CS4? I just want to check before I go ahead and purchase a 3rd party app like Juggler. Does anyone else have a suggestion for software to add authenticode signature to a CS4 flash projector file? Jugglor is pretty old (2007) and I would like to know if there are more recent apps to package and sign projector files.
Thanks for any info.
Doug

You can use a tool from Miscsoft to sign your projector. Here's how:
1) Buy a code signing certificate from someone like COMODO, Entrust Thawte, or VeriSign
2) Download the command line code signing tool from Microsoft - SignTool.exe
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8s9b9yaz(VS.80).aspx
2) Follow these instructions

Open a Flash projector

Hi my name is Alex and I'm working on a dvd-rom for a
compagny. All my work has been done with flash but I want to do a
splash screen where they can select the part of the project they
want to see. ( the splash screen is made from director).
I have 3 doors. When they click on a door,I want director to
open the flash projector in the services folder and the file is
services.exe. I try: on mouseUp me >
openFile("\services\Services.exe")but it tell me that: "Script
Error: Wrong number of parameters". I'm new to that I don't know
what to do. I also try the full path with D:\..... but it's the
same error.
Thank I apreciate.

It's cool you got it to work, however....
Directors built-in external app control is pretty limited. If
you want to lanch your flash with a lot more control, try buddy api
(director exchange). I've had it for years and find a use for it in
almost every project, as it exposes the a ton of features of the
Windows API to lingo.

Video error message in Flash projector

Hi,
I am trying to watch a video which is linked to a Flash
projector. When I click the link, it says
'unable to download an appropriate decompressor'
Is anyone familiar with this error message? If so, it this a
problem with the projector, a problem with Windows Media Player or
a problem with the computer it is playing on?
I have tried it on my laptop (a newer model running Windows
XP which the projector was created on) and everything works just
fine.
Thanks very much.

What projector version are you using ?

Problems with video in Flash Projector?

We are looking for guidance on how to overcome horizontal tearing in parts of .F4v movies played out of
Flash projector for PC. We suspect the problem crops up at the point the projector is generated out of Flash,
having experienced the same problem with .F4Vs generated by others (see Note re: David Hassoun's Adobe
online article below).
The Problem: .F4V movies played out of a Flash projector exhibits horizontal tears (artifacts) during
panning, zooming motions in the video.
The Project: Interactive kiosks for Hyatt/SeaWorld employing two screens -- a touchscreen and
media/display screen. The project stage spans the two monitors (2390 px X 768 px combined) with the
touchscreen portion occupying 1024 and display screen 1366 of the horizontal dimension. The videos in the
media screen (an attract loop and separate movies selected via the touch panel) have been encoded with
Adobe Media Encoder as 1280x720 .F4V files.
The Workflow: Video acquisition in HDV, captured by Final Cut Pro and converted/uprezzed to ProRes 422
for editing. Rendered out at "Current Settings" resulting in a 1920x1080i QuickTime - ProRes codec movie.
That is encoded to .F4V in Adobe Media Encoder using the 720p preset. We then use a program called
Jugglor to position the full-screen project, stripping off borders and hiding the system bar.
Movies play normally in Adobe Media Player and in .swf files generated out of Flash. But after creating a
Flash projector for PC, the video exhibits the glitches (horizonal tears) in pans and zooms.
The Playback PC: The media is played out of a custom-built PC consisting of:
- Gigabyte motherboard, Intel Chipset 58
- 6 gigs of ram
- i7 Intel process (quad core) @ 2.66 gb
- NVidia GeForce 9500 GT video card w 1gb ram
- Super Ram Disk playback
- 1 TB SEagate 7200 RPM HD w 32 mb cache
- 550 w Corsair power supply
Note: We have downloaded and played some example H.264 videos accompanying David Hassoun's
"Exploring Flash Player Support for H.264 Video and AAC audio" from the Adobe website. We noted that
the video viles played flawlessly in the QuickTime player, but when we brought them into Flash and
generated a projector file, we saw the same horizontal tearing, particularly in motion shots and in
transitions.

I hope this is something Adobe is looking into. There are lots of tutorials for making videos small and grainy for playback on phones and internet appliances, but very little in the way of guidance for making hi-def video look like hi-def video.
A modern PC should be able to play hi-def off the hard drive with no problems, and there are players that do this (Quicktime, WMP, Nero), but when H.264 gets walled up inside a flash player, it seems to bog down. The machine described above will easily decode and play back DV video in WMP at 25 Mbs, but both the Flash Player and Adobe Media Player give no joy when trying to playback h.264 at much lower bandwidths.
Increasing the quality of the video compression doesn't seem to overtax the processor or the bus (since it plays well in other players), but in Flash Player, it seems to expose limits in the performance of the player.
For authoring in Flash, what is the recipe for decent Hi-def?

Interface freeze issue with Flash Projector

I am facing an interface freeze issue with Flash Projector running a flex state based application. A Flash Projector exe was generated from a standalone flash player ver 10.2. The target machine on which the problem occuresd has 10.3.
Basically "screen freeze" means that the user interface is running as usual on Flash Player, but it's not responding to any user input (like button presses). But if we alt-tab to another application, the state changes in the Flash player. There is display with buttons on the screen, but touching the buttons or doing anything else - it did not respond. Rebooting the computer fixes the problem.
Can you suggest why this is happening? Is there any known bug in Flash Player.
The problem is this is being hard to reproduce on the developer workstation as it doesn't happen always. But it happens quite often on the target machine running an Intel Atom N270. What debugging steps can you suggest?
Problem Description : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z25oV9QWRyk

First, thanks for the video. Having this always makes it much easier to understand the problem. A couple of recommendations. First, if you feel like this might be a player bug, please add a new bug report over at bugbase.adobe.com and if possible please include any sample code or swf's that can help us reproduce the problem internally. Linking the video would also be great. In addition, would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums? This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience who might have additional feedback.
Thanks,
Chris

Flash Projector and Html together

Hello, what I want to do is to create a CD with a Website
that I have already done using html and flash. The problem is that
I want this CD to work in computers without Flash Player installed.
What if I create a flash projector movie that runs getUrl( )
and that html file contains flash animations, will people be able
to see them even if they do not have flash player installed?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Raf

you can include the exe installer for the user.
Have the exe projector start, than ask whether they have or
not the player and
if they don't you could use fscommand exec to call it from cd
and install.
Macromedia allow downloads if the players for cd
distribution, you just need
to fill up a form to get the licensing which is an instant
process.
you could also have HTML with detection to check for the
player if they were
not sure whether is it or not install.
I have been doing the very same for years, flash projector as
splash screen
with all kind of add ons required for the CD, from flash
players to adobe reader
installer.
