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.

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!?!?

AS3 Flash exe projector opening other flash exe projectors

I need help with the following project. I can only make it work using SWF but not with EXE files.
I have one flash projector (mainFront.exe) an two flash projectors (MasterPage_YIM.exe and MasterPage_YIM_sp.exe).
MasterPage_YIM and MasterPage_YIM_Sp are exe that open several swfs files
mainFront is just the main page through which users will choose either english or spanish version.
mainFront and English version are in the same folder, but Spanish version is in a different folder.
MAIN FLASH PROJECTOR
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
var loader1:Loader=new Loader();
eng_btn.txt.text="ENGLISH";
sp_btn.txt.text="ESPANOL";
eng_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoHome);
sp_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoHome);
function gotoHome(event:MouseEvent)
switch(event.currentTarget.name)
case "sp_btn":
//removeChild(loader);
var newSWFRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest("../YouthInternet_Spanish/MasterPage_YIM_sp.swf");
loader.load(newSWFRequest);
addChild(loader);
break;
case "eng_btn":
var newSWFRequest1:URLRequest= new URLRequest("MasterPage_YIM.swf");
loader1.load(newSWFRequest1);
addChild(loader1);
break;
PROBLEM:
How do I open either version (english or spanish) from mainFront so that each version works as it should?

There is a fullScreenTakeOver property that tells the component what it's able to do. If you set it to false it should not allow going fullscreen.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/fl/video/FLVPlayback.ht ml#fullScreenTakeOver
When the stage enters full-screen mode, the FLVPlayback component is on top of all content and takes over the entire screen. When the stage exits full-screen mode, the screen returns to how it was before.

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:
Realm of the Mad God on Steam
You can also run this full screen.

.swf file created from Indesign won't open in Flash Player

I have created an interactive flash presentation using Indesign. For several weeks I have made edits, exported a .swf file and opened the file by double-clicking it to open in Flash Player. From there I was able to export an .exe file with an embedded projector for users that may not have flash player. The file does not open and asks whcih progrma I would like to open with when clicking the file.
I am running Windows XP, Adobe CS5
Thanks for your help.

That sounds more Windows file association issue.Have you tried to Right-Click your SWF and choosed Open With (or something like that), you can choose Flash Player from that list if it´s installed.

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.

Starting a flash projector from terminal

Hi everyone,
i have the following problem and it drives me mad. I´m
developing a Flash game which retrieves data from a java Server.
For presentation I have both things, the server and the
Flash-Projektor on the same Computer. What I want is: Both
programms startet with on click (one doubleclick :-) ) so I tried
to start the server using fscommand but since the Server is a never
stopping Thread, Flash blocks and waits for the application to
end...which will never happen. So my new try is to start the Flash
projector from tha java server interface via runtime.exec();
everything I need now is what I have to enter in the Terminal
(using OSX!) to start a Flash projector. I just can´t figure
it out.
Another thing would be: it doesn´t have to be a
projector...could be normal swf also...then start it with a
standalone player...but same problem: how do i start a standalone
player from the terminal giving it the file he should open? Are
there parameters I can pass to it? Anybody? Help!!!

ok well you might be able to solve this by exectuing an
AppleScript
from the terminal, I don't rememeber the exact command but it
can be
done.
You might also consider creating you app with mProjector for
OS X, it
adds many new commands into Flash including and openDocument
command
and an executeApplication command. It also allows you te
create
multiple window applications via a createWindow command - so
you may be
able to do what you need to in one application. Oh yeah and
there are
Flash Shaped windows, sometime very cool for games...
check it out the calls mentioned a all here on the API docs
page
http://www.screentime.com/software/mprojector/docs/index.html
Download the demo, it will installed the mProjector classes
right into
flash. Export your swf build the app in mProjector and away
you go..

Adobe Flash Projector EXE files signed with Authenticode digital signatures do not launch and run.

I am failing to digitally sign Adobe Flash projector exe files.
Adobe Flash Projector EXE files signed with Authenticode digital signatures do not launch and run successfully.
It is not currently possible to directly sign a Flash Projector EXE file. Doing so is causing the projector to fail to launch or run.
What is the way to do it without involving 3rd party tool

I searched for this in our bug database, but the only bug I found was reported (and deferred) back in 2008. Other than using 3rd party tools, it doesn't look like this is possible. I'd recommend opening a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com. Please post back with the URL or bug number so others can vote and add their comments.

How do you autorun a Flash Projector (Windows) from a USB drive?

I got a Windows Flash Projector (.exe) that I need to autorun from a USB drive. I just want the user to be able to plug in the USB drive to their machine and have it start running without any menus. I've been using the following with no luck:
[autorun]
open=KSF_USB_main.exe
The project is composed of a number of .swf files that load into the "KSF_USB_main.swf" file. There are also PDF and FLV links within some of the movies.
I have the "autorun.inf" file and all other files (including the .exe Projector file) on the USB drive. When I plug it in to a PC it brings up the "What Do You Want To Do?" window and doesn't autorun.
I've tried some 3rd party software that creates a menu file with no luck.
Any suggestions?

This feature may have been disabled in some versions of Windows and some types of USB drives:

I work with a website where I need to open a flash window to examine the changes that I have made. I cannot use my mouse inside this flash window. Help?

I work on a website where I open a flash window to see how the changes I have made look. When I open the flash window, my mouse no longer works properly - I cannot click into the window - and scroll down to look at it. It also seems to "lock" up the page as I cannot click anywhere sometimes on this page (original or the flash window.) If I click on a different page completely and then go back, it seems to reset (actually sort of blinks) and then I can close the flash window. When I use the touchpad on my laptop, it works fine. When I use internet explorer, it works.

What kind of menu opens if you right click in the Flash area?<br />
Is that the Flash player menu?
You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

Exporting to a .swf or .fla from InDesign CS6 - issues with timeline when opened in Flash.

Hello,
Looking for help with exporting files for Flash. I have tried both .swf and fla exports from InDesign for the animations I have created. The .swf file will play fine in Flash player but I am having no luck using the .swf or .fla file in Flash. The .fla file will open in Flash but there is no time-line. I can import the .swf file into Flash, but again there is no timeline - all the graphics and elements are visible in the library.
- Is there a particular way the file(s) have to be exported from InDesign in order for them to appear with a time line in Flash?
- Are there particular do's and dont's when it comes to creating InDesign files that are going to be used as Flash animation?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jamie

The page turning animations in an exported swf are accomplished via ActionScript—they are not timeline based tween animations. You might be able to decompile the swf and get to the code, but I've never tried it. Google SWF decompiler.
When you export to fla the animation ActionScript code is not included, so you lose the page turn animations. Each spread is saved as a MovieClip and the clips appear on sequential keyframes of the root timeline. With an fla it's up to you to write any animation code.

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

hi 856105
Just based on the information you provide, when you ...
... tried to just run the ojdeploy under#HOME/Oracle/Middleware/jdeveloper/jdev/bin/ojdeploy in terminal ...... and that resulted in the message ...

I can't open a flash animation made in Flash CS6 in CS5

I created a Flash Animation for a school project in Adobe Flash CS6 at home, and at school which uses Adobe Flash CS5, I can't open the flash file. Is there anyway I can make this happen, because until then I can't work on my project.

Flash Pro CS6 supports saving as a Flash CS5.5 or Flash CS5 documents(fla and XFLs).
You can save this to either of these formats using the File->Save As option
