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!?!?

Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

1. Because they're using Android or iOS and can't see the Flash container.
2. Because they have Flash Player, but NOT Shockwave, which works for Interactive content like games and links in Flash containers.
3. ActiveX controls are blocking Flash content in IE.
4. Any of about a dozen other things.
As a web desginer since 2003, I can tell you that these days, it's a terrible idea to have Flash content in a website (outside of games that require it). Video should be HTML5. Navigation, content and other links should be HTML, CSS and/or Javascript ONLY, because placing them in a Flash container makes them invisible to literally half of your viewers or more, since SmartPhones can't and don't see Flash, and tablets don't either without special browsers, which may or may not work with embedded links.

Open folder from mac flash projector from a CD... not working

I know there are many posts out there about this, but for
some reason it's not working for me. I thought I was doing
everything right, so I'm hoping the smart people of this forum
could help.
objective:
Flash stand alone projector interface has links that open
folders and a website that is local on the cd.
What I've done
I wrote an applescript that opens the folder. I saved as an
application and checked the run and unchecked the others. named it
"openpdf"
I placed this file in the "fscommand" folder. This folder is
on the same level as my projector. In this folder I have some ini
and exe files for the pc side (which works by the way)
in flash I wrote on the button:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "openpdf");
}

I copied this from your 5.0 download information: "All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again." When I opened my computer today all my apptabs from yesterday had disappeared. Why?

Your download page for 5.0 stated: All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again.
I liked the convenience of using App Tabs and was disappointed to find that the ones I had set up yesterday were gone today. Am I doing something wrong?

Works fine for me, I can simulate your problem by improperly closing Firefox.
The correct way would be to close the windows you don't want and then to exit Firefox through the File ("'''Alt+F'''") menu then use '''Exit''' or '''Qui'''t depending on your system.
But '''I can simulate your problem''' by closing the good window with "X" in the upper right-corner first (the one with the app-tabs) and then close the other window by any means.
You restart Firefox and open a window, since you closed without app-tabs there are none so you just see a window with your home page.
Firefox has some things added to Firefox 4 and therefore in Firefox 5.
# "'''Alt+S'''" (Hi'''s'''tory menu)
# "'''Restore Previous Session'''" (that's the window without the app-tabs, but you have to this first)
# "'''Restore Recently Closed Windows'''" -- can choose which window to reopen based on name and the mouse-over tells how many tabs. or you just use "'''Restore All Windows'''" without the guessing.
''I know you are on a Mac, and this affects Windows user more than anybody else, but it does affect other systems besides Windows, occasionally, perhaps more often now with the plugins container.''
The following may not completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox through the Windows Control Panel but it will come very close.
'''Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting
to close Firefox''' The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the
Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window,
it does not necessarily close Firefox .
The only '''proper way to exit Firefox''' is to use '''Exit''' through the
File menu, not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
In the Firefox 4 and 5 that would be Alt+F then X

Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "'''Processes'''" tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
If Firefox will still not start, remove the parent.lock file from the profile which is created each time Firefox is started to prevent other Firefox tasks from running, see<br>
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Remove_the_profile_lock_file
'''Avoiding Problems with close/restart''' ''choose either extension''
:Use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
Both extensions use the same keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.

Open "project.app" from "project.osx"

Hi everyone,
I created a Director splash using Director MX2004 on WindowsXP. I published my project for Mac ("project.osx"). I also have a seperate project created in Flash CS4 that was published for Mac ("project.app"). Using buddyAPI, I cannot open "project.app" from a button used on "project.osx". Is this even possible to do? I cannot find any type of documentation on this issue...
thank you in advance for your help.
Rafael.

Well.... I figured it out. I changed my delimiter to ":" for Mac (instead of "\"). Also, I was NOT telling it to open "project.app", I was telling it to open "project.osx".

Opening an app from an url + parameters

Is there a way to open an app from an url with parameters and read those parameters?

Now, i am using Flash pro to create my app, once packed it's tricky to mess up with the contents, is there a file i can edit, before rendering the app? for example is this something i can add in an xml file that is created in my app folder?
It starts with this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.4">
    <id>appID</id>
    <versionNumber>3.0</versionNumber>

Opening an EXE from a Button

Hi everyone,
Hope someone can help me, i'm having major difficulties. I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS3 and I'm trying to create a button to open a .exe file. I have been going roudn in circles and nothing seems to work for me at all.
I have created my button and gave it an instance name, if someone can talk me throgh the procedure I would be very much obliged.
Many Thanks
Paul

I belive that is for a security reasons.
This is a help for fscommand.
To use fscommand() to send a message to Flash Player, you must use predefined commands and parameters. The following table shows the values that you can specify for the fscommand() function's command and args parameters. These values control SWF files that are playing in Flash Player, including projectors. (A projector is a SWF file saved in a format that can run as a stand-alone application—that is, without Flash Player.)
Command
Parameter (args)
Purpose
quit
None
Closes the projector.
fullscreen
true or false
Specifying true sets Flash Player to full-screen mode. Specifying false returns the player to normal menu view.
allowscale
true or false
Specifying false sets the player so that the SWF file is always drawn at its original size and never scaled. Specifying true forces the SWF file to scale to 100% of the player.
showmenu
true or false
Specifying true enables the full set of context menu items. Specifying false hides all of the context menu items except About Flash Player and Settings.
exec
Path to application
Executes an application from within the projector.
trapallkeys
true or false
Specifying true sends all key events, including accelerator keys, to the onClipEvent(keyDown/keyUp) handler in Flash Player.
Not all of the commands listed in the table are available in all applications:
None of the commands are available in web players.
All of the commands are available in stand-alone applications, such as projectors.
Only allowscale and exec are available in test-movie players.
The exec command can contain only the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, period (.), and underscore (_). The exec command runs in the subdirectory fscommand only. In other words, if you use the exec command to call an application, the application must reside in a subdirectory named fscommand. The exec command works only from within a Flash projector file.

Hello jerrysgirl777
For issues with apps closing on you at start up, try closing the app from multitasking, restarting your device, checking for updates or just deleting the app and downloading it again. Check out the article blow for more information.

FCE4.0.1 won't open when the App Icon is clicked. I've checked all Ext HD (verified prefs)- have trashed the FCE App and reinstalled from FCE discs, have downloaded the Plug In. I clicked on the FCE icon, the windows that says :registered to...and then l

FCE 4.0.1 won't open when I click the icon in the Dock or in the Applications icon of FCE. It had been working well but I had trouble when I trashed the reference Scratch disk to a project and I was asked to get it back. I checked all my drives through verify in Disk Utility and a couple needed repair - eventually were given the OK. I then Shut Down and rebooted, I then trashed the FCE App and reinstalled from the Install discs and , finally, I tried opening a FCE project. None of these caused the FCE App to open with Browser, Viewer, Canvas,. Time Line. All that happens is the the first FCE window, the one that says FCE registered to...and the other that says loading AE Effects, Video Effects does show but then nothing except my Desktop with it's various folders and files I also downloaded the Plug In Tom Wolsky suggested to a recent query.
All I can think of is to backup everything to HDs and take this iMac in for a service.It is only six months old - I reckon it will be poor driving by it's proud but unskilled driver!

Don't panic . . . . . yet!
You may not have trashed FCE properly.
Deleting the application icon is useless as there are a number of files hidden elsewhere which may be corrupt.
Download this free app to uninstall FCE completely and then reinstall it.

I know it is called FCS Remover but it also works for FCE.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

Hi,
Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.

Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*
