Link external .exe file to director buttons

I want to create a CD menu that has buttons link to differents .exe file (application) When click on the button, the application will run directly on window so I can turn it to full screen.
However I've encountered the problems when try to link external files (exe) into cast. I got this -1 errors. I've checked previous topic and try the 'open()' command that link to the .exe file but it didn't work either. Well, I've just study Director not so long ago, so I'll appriciate your help to archive the right result.
Thank you.

Don't import your exe in the cast. Just put it next to the projector or in a subfolder.
Then give the full path to open().
Example:
open(_movie.path & "filename.exe")

Can you call external exe file from Flex Air Application like notepad.exe

Im trying to make my Air Application open an External exe file anyone know if this can be done?

Hi,
If you want to share code between a flex app and AIR, you
could isolate the common bits as a swc file and link to the swc
from both the flex and air project.
Also, you could have the flex mxml file and air mxml file
load the same module (which has the same stuff as your original
flex application) using ModuleLoader.
Or, you could even load the swf of your flex application
using SWFLoader in your air mxml file.
Basically, check out creating flex libraries, modules and
runtime loading of swfs.

Hi Simon,
This is very much a FAQ. I have an answer to it at:
http://www.fbe.unsw.edu.au/learning/director/resources/FAQ/pdf.asp
As Sean suggested, it's worth searching the group as often
questions have been covered before, and in this case, many times
before.
You can use Google to search through forums at:

Linking an exe file thru JEditorPane

Hi All,
I would like to link an exe file thru a JEditor Pane...
I have constructed a gui for an application using Swing and want to link a local exe file
thru it ie i would like the exe file to execute when i click on the link provided in the JEditorPane.
How should i go about it?
Thanx...

Are you talking about linking to your EXE in terms of a compiler link or just a communication link so your EXE takes care of the functionality and your java program provides the GUI only ?
I do not know if a compiler link is possible. I've never seen anything that allows you to do it.
If you just want your EXE to provide functionality then it is possible, but would take a fair amount of work. You can open sockets in both the EXE and Java programs and send messages back and forth. The GUI could request work to be done by the EXE and the EXE passes the results back to the GUI for display. An interesting note about this is that the EXE and GUI do not have to reside on the same machine.
Good luck,
Peter

How to create a button to load an external exe file

hi
i have an flash cs5 project
so the user when clicking the button the exe file open ?
the exe in folder name "puzz"
the exe file name play.exe
i tried this
    button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
    function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
                    flash.system.fscommand("exec","//puzz//play.exe");
                                            trace ("done");
but nothing happen!

play needs to be in a folder called fscommand or you need to use a proxy file in the fscommand folder to call play.exe
read the flash help files to understand some of the basics of fscommand.

DVD with external exe file

Hi all,
Is there any solution to call an external .exe application such as a game, from a DVD created in a MAC ? (Like with a menu inside DVD with a button and call the game with .exe or other extension for PC)
I know it can be done with DVD@ccess and it works, unless you install it first into the PC.
I've tried it with Flash CS5 but from what I saw it can't be done (at least for a rookie like me) is there any other application to create it?, (it would be great if could be done all with authoring, without going to an external application).
Thank you all
Mario

Hi Shawn,
DVD@cess did the job (PC and Mac), the only problem is that I need the DVD for commercial purpose (children/kids use), so it's rather annoying telling people to first download the program and install it for the DVD to get access to the interactive content ... for a single client it's ok.
The way I'm doing it's what everyone is doing around here, to put a batch file like autorun in the DVD root, to be the first thing to do (reading the exe file), but I can't get access to the DVD content if it's first open as an executable file ... and can't open the exe file either if it's open by a PC DVD player, this will only work on a PC because it's a exe file (maybe there's a way to do this with an autorun and .app file for MAC, I will search for it).
Anyway thanks for the input and advice, I know it's a rare situation, but I need the game to work ... maybe in another version of DVD studio pro
Thank you
Mario

How do I dynamically load a SWF that was compiled from an Fla with a linked external class file

I am dynamically loading external SWFs in a Main Fla in response to clicks on a menu.
The loading code is standard and works fine for all of the SWFs except one. When I try to load it I get the following error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I am certain that the URL to the problem SWF is correct. The SWF itself doesn't load any other SWFs or images.
The problem SWF is linked to an external class file and compiled with it.
i.e. in the properties panel of the main timeline of the problem SWF's Fla I have entered the path to the external class.
1. there is no problem compiling this SWF with the class (it works fine by itself)
2. if I remove the external class from the properties panel and don't use it the resulting SWF imports without a problem into the Main Fla mentioned before
So the problem seems to be the fact that the external class is linked in the properties panel. Is this a path problem?
Would appreciate any suggestions,
Thanks!

despite what you say, that loaded swf most likely is loading something and that's the cause of the error.
you could test that by putting the main swf's embedding html file in the same directory with problematic swf. if the problem is as explained above, you'll have no problem when the main html is in the same directory with the loaded swf.

Linking external css file issue

Hello everyone,
I have linked my css file to the html in dreamweaver manual in the html page and by attaching the css file in dreamweaver but when I add new stle to my css file I dont know why it wont show the affect of the style I add to the HTML file while I have the split view in dreamweaver. please help

That's because you're creating a class. You don't need a class to style HTML selectors.
HTML selectors don't contain any prefixes.
h1 {color:teal}
h2 {color:brown}
h3 {color: maroon}
Classes contain a dot prefix and must be referenced in the HTML.
.classname {color:pink}
<h2 class="classname">This class is pink</h2>

Link local exe file into URL iview

Hi,
I am trying to integrate an VB application ( basically it is a .exe file installed in local path ) through a url iview . The exe will reside on every client machines and the path I have given is like 'file://c:/Program Files/myfolder/test.exe'
But when I access this application , I am getting an error icon in the left bottom of the IE and when I clicked that icon , it is giving an 'Access Denied Error 'message
It might be some IE security settings which we need to do. I am not able to find what it is.
Pls help.
Ramana

I dont know if SAP provides any iview that support this. However you can do it with javascript and shell commands by follow this tutorial.

Run external exe program from APEX button

Hi,
I want to run external programs like EXCEL or Word called from an APEX button.
Does anyone hav an idea?
Regards,
Siegwin

Hi Siegwin,
To my knowledge, there are two possibilities running apps on the client side: Either user IE with ActiveX or create your own browser and deploy it with the application.
I did this using the WebKit browser which comes free with the Qute-Framework. It works very well, the only thing I need to do is create a link that starts with os:// to start an external application and hand parameters over. The browser is a minimal browser component, strong enough to run Flash and enabled to interact with the local computer. Deployment of this C++ application is a simple copy to a network device. This approach gave me piece of mind in regard to compatibility issues as well. The browser is a simple window that even don't allow for direct address entering, therefore the Apex-application looks like a normal application then and is unable to connect to any other internet resource other than the APEX applicaiton itself.
To the others moaning about this security whole: There are situations where you need something like this, fi in intranet environments where you want to enable APEX to interact with the local environment. So I think it's a valid request.
Best regards,
Jürgen
