Passing command line parameters to flash .EXE (AS2)

Hi,
I currently have a bunch of Flash clips in .swf that get variables passed from Javascript on a remotely hosted web server. They need those variables to work.
I'm trying to create a local version using those same Flash clips, compiled into .EXEs instead of .SWF files so people who do not have flash installed can run them as well.
I'm trying to write a loader application that will take care of logging people in to their web accounts and launching the flash .EXEs. But I need to pass the EXEs the same variables I used to pass them via javascript. Is there a command line way to pass variables into the flash .EXE so they are useable with AS2 (via _root or otherwise...)?
I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere...
Thanks,
Imperio

Hi Yves,
I tried what you mentioned
Here's what I have added to the ANT file:
<fx:application id="Hello">
</fx:application>
<fx:jvmuserarg name="-Dhelloproperty=" value="32"/>
Here's what I added in registry inder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\Hello\/J/V/M/User/Options
value name = '-/Dhelloproperty='
value data ='abcd'
The value from the registry never gets printed.
This is what I get when I print the value via sysout (so registry value is not used)
-Dhelloproperty=32
-Dapp.preferences.id=Hello
Here`s the method to print the params:
private static void runtimeParameters() {
          RuntimeMXBean bean = ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean();
          List<String> aList = bean.getInputArguments();
          for (String s:aList) {
            System.out.println( s );
Can you please provide me with your example if possible.
My OS is Win 7 Pro 32 bits, what`s yours?
Thanks,
Carl

Create the control file dynamically (and fill one of the columns with the file name as a constant) before you start SQL*Loader
Another option is to use external tables

Command Line Parameters for spotify.exe? (Windows 7)

I've been trying to use Windows Speech Recognition to open music. The problem is, the WSR Macros only open the executable then ask you if you want to run the program with command-line parameters. What I want to do is say the album or the artist then have Spotify open and play that artist/album; I can't do that until I figure out how to open spotify with parameters, if there are even any. Thanks for your help. (I also know how Spotify has had multiple suggestions for this to be integrated in the application itself, but I'm trying to just use Windows Speech Recog)

How to Pass Command line arguments to an exe created in LV8.0

Hi Friends,
I have Created an exe in LV8.0, which accepts the Folder path as input and executes.
I want to call this exe passing the parameter (i.e folder path in my case) from the command line argument. How to pass arguments to the exe ?
Generally we may be having different types of input parameters to a vi like numeric control, string, boolean etc..If we create an exe that needs three input parameters among which one is boolean, other is string and third is a numeric value.
How to pass these different types of input controls to the exe as parameters in command line at the same time?
Thanks and Regards,
SODLB

I don't have any experience with the 8.x application builder, but the 7.x one has a checkbox for passing the arguments to the executable.
As for reading them, there should be an example in the example finder (Help>>Find Examples) which shows how to do this. If you want to pass multiple parameters, I suggest you use a structure similar to NAME=VALUE, so that you can parse each element to find the = and then use a case structure to decide what to do with the parameters. This allows your users to enter or not enter any of the switches.

Command line parameters for al_engine.exe

If you go to a command line window on a DS server and type al_engine.exe with no parameters it prints "Usage" information. Some of the parameters it mentions are known to the community (like -XX, -XI, etc). However there are some which sound pretty interesting, but I can't find any information or examples how it should be used. Examples:
-L<list of value> : List of Object Labels from UI (separated by , or ; or space) to filter.
-Je<XML file> Execute the Installation scenario defined in XML file.
-jd"datastore delta file in quotes>" : Modify datastore values using "file"
-Jf, -Ja, -We, and many more.
I am particularily interested in -Je functiohnality - it sounds like it can be used to automate deployment. I am using import/export options to do some automation, but real automation would include deletion of some objects, adding jobs to projects, etc.
Can anybody help with the documentation/examples?

The preferred way is to save your workflow as an application and then call usr/bin/open on it. If for some reason you must have the workflow run inside of Automator (not self-contained) then you're looking at some quality time with man osascript. As it happens Apple has removed even the need for Cron for most users. A click to File -> Save As Plug-In -> for iCal handles it from start to finish.
Edit: I forgot to mention that Automator has its own simple command line utility for running *.workflow files. Check out man automator

How to pass command line parameters During server start up

Hi,
I am trying to use Net Beans profiling tool.On the server side i required to pass a command line option to enable remote profiling.
Regards,
Kiran.

Hi, MB.
If you are talking about the automatic Java Web Start support for launching app clients in GlassFish, you can pass the equivalent of command line arguments using the query string of the URL you use to launch the app client.
Briefly, use
http://host:port/client-path?arg=first-arg&arg=second-arg& ...
specifying the argument values in the order that you want them passed to the client.
The GlassFish server will do the right thing and generates the correct JNLP so your arguments are passed to the app client.
The GlassFish developer's guide http://glassfish.dev.java.net/nonav/javaee5/docs/AS91DG.pdf discusses this and all aspects of the Java Web Start support. You can also take a look at this blog entry http://blogs.sun.com/quinn/entry/command_line_arguments_and_properties that focuses on how to pass arguments.
Since this technique deals with argument passing in the URL, it works no matter how you launch the app client: a URL in a browser, the javaws command, etc.

Command line parameters for OMBPlus?

Hi,
Is it possible to pass command line parameters to TCL scripts running in OMBPlus.sh, and if so, can someone provide an example?
I'm able to use the argv0 variable to get the script name itself but not sure how to get any other additional parms...
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
If you are building command-line scripts to automate OMB+ commands, there is another factor you should be aware of. If your script errors out cleanly, the OMBPlus.sh does NOT pass this back to the shell. The return code is evaluated within OMBPlus as the return from a "source" command and then OMBPlus exits normally.
For example:
#file test.tcl
return -code error
Unix/shell> OMBPlus.sh test.tcl
Unix/shell> echo $?
0What I do to pass an error state back to the shell is to create a flag file in my script if exiting due to error. My shell script deletes this file prior to running the script and then tests for it after the run as part of the conditional logic
Function in tcl file:
#Get location where this script installed
#This variable is set at the top of the script.
set theScriptDir [ file dirname [info script]]
#If we want to bail in the script at any point we call exit_failure with an appropriate error message
proc exit_failure { msg } {
   global theScriptDir
   set ERRFLAGFILE "$theScriptDir/ers_owb_import.error"
#rollback any uncommitted work
   OMBROLLBACK
#Log the error and exit
   set fout [open "$ERRFLAGFILE" a+]
   puts $fout "Error:-> $msg"
   close $fout
   # return and also bail from calling function
   return -code error
}And my shell script does something like:
cd ${JOB_DIR}
rm -f ers_owb_import.error 2>/dev/null
echo \\nBegining Uninstall of OWB Project
./OMBPlus.sh ${JOB_DIR}/my_tcl_Script.tcl
if [ -f ${JOB_DIR}/ers_owb_import.error ] ; then
      echo \\nERROR - SCRIPT FAILED
else
     echo \\nScript Succeeded.
     # script logic continues....
fiCheers,
Mike

Command line parameters and resuming

Hi,
I am researching for a client who wishes to have several students (K-12) using Adobe Captivate course on the same computer. Another constraint is that a course is run from DVD (1+ GB in size) so it's published as standalone application (.exe for Windows, .app for Mac). Quick questions:
Can a course have an action to parse command line parameters? I haven't found that.
Explanation: this would be used to simply parse a name and e-mail address (if possible) and last module passed to a course player. Resuming could be disabled (there is an answer how to do that in the forum) or overridden but the learner should be transferred to a slide to resume based on the calling parameter (and not the default resuming - there will be several users so each must resume from the last passed module slide).
Can a progress of the current learner using the course be saved to a database (no LMS, e-mail, Acrobat.com etc)?
Explanation: this is needed for the current learner and for each one separately. I guess I already have a solution in mind (custom application, having small internal web server like Mongoose, with a script that replaces internalServerReporting.php and saves the data to a internal database, SQLite). But for this to work spawning a course with command line parameters and course itself reading these parameters would need to work.
If there is a (better) solution for the above, please reply. The goal is have minimal changes on the course e.g. if there are command line parameters, then parse them and do something (mark modules passed, open appropriate next slide). If parameters are not given/recognized, do nothing (so the course would still work on computers used by one learner only, including resuming etc).
My opinion is that this should also be one-way as much as possible. E.g. additional application handles user name, e-mail and current progress and spawns Captivate course. The published course itself should not depend on the application like reading progress from a text file (though an URL call could return current progress from an application for the same user name). So ideally only changes to use internal server publishing to save current progress and adding a logic to check parameters at start would be applied to a course.
Waiting for your smart answers.
Matt

DVDs, when finalized, are read-only... so unless you are considering to do an Install of the course from the DVD to the machine, you're not going to be able to write to a database. A USB stick may be more suitable in this situation.
Command line params are not possible with EXEs unless you create your own EXE wrapper. If you're going to go through that trouble, you'd be better off creating an Adobe Air application that can run your local web content without security restrictions and use SQLite or some other backend to store the data.
Can the progress be saved? It depends what you mean by progress. If you just want to allow the student to resume from the slide where they left off... you can do that with a bit of JavaScript. However, if you want to ensure that any previous questions answered on a quiz were also resumed and intact from the previous session... not possible without an LMS.
Why not run a Moodle installation via a USB stick and you can have a full featured LMS with a database and ability to resume a previous session?
http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Installation_guide_-_Moodle_for_Windows_on_a_USB_Memory_Stick
Just some things to consider...

Starting Projector w/Command line Parameters

I would like pass one to three command line parameters to the projectors embedded SWF at runtime.

Thanks,

Im looking to do this via a command line. Ultimately how I intend on using this is creating a Windows Explorer Context Menu that allows me to right click on a folder or file and automatically add it to iTunes.
Ive already created one to 'Play in iTunes' and using the command line mentioned above and it works like a charm.
Thanks again!

Edit command line parameters without restarting LabVIEW

Is there a way to edit the command line parameters passed to a VI WITHOUT having to restart LabVIEW? Perhaps I'm accustomed to how it works in just about every other development environment, but having to do so is quite frustrating.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ronbrown wrote:
I'm just surprised that LabVIEW doesn't have just a simple "command line parameters" option somewhere in the VI options for debugging purposes, just like Visual Studio and other deveopment environments.
If memory serves, Visual Studio runs the compiled program as a separate process. That should make it easier to give it separate switches. In LabVIEW, if you let the user change the parameters, you would have to do some conflict resolution, since this is a global setting (e.g. did the changes you make affect everything or a single VI/hierarchy/app instance, are the original switches lost or can you get them back somehow and when).
If you want a workaround, I suggest you create a simple subVI with a 1D array output and a 1D array control on its FP or BD. If the control has something in it, use it. Otherwise, use the CLA[] property. Alternatively, you can check if you're running in the IDE or use a boolean, etc. Personally, the only time I think I needed to use switches, I believe the code was simple and I simply tested it by building the EXE. It probably took longer to figure out that I needed to explicitly turn on CLA support for the EXE than the actual testing.

Command line parameters and path problem

hello ....
I have to execute an application from my java program. My application called "AIMSS" takes 2 command line parameters. Now, when i mention those parameters with complete path to my executeable, windows reports that "unable to open the shortcut". Below is what i am trying:
private static final String WIN_PATH = "rundll32";
private static final String WIN_FLAG "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler";
private String cmd = null;
private String url = null;
public void runMyFileWithMessage(String msg)
    try
url = "C:\\Program Files\\Raytheon\\AIMSS 4.0\\Runtime\\Standard\\aimss40.exe" + " AAAVIETM 3457";
             cmd = WIN_PATH + " " + WIN_FLAG + " " + url;
             System.out.println(url);
             Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
        catch(IOException io)
            System.out.println("AIMSS problem. Below is the Stack Trace.");
            io.printStackTrace();
    }Although, when i tried to run the executeable from Start->Run, by giving it same complete path and 2 arguments, it runs fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Raheel.

Passing multiple paramters in a String to exec() doesn't work. Use the exec method that takes a String array instead and pass the call and each parameter in as a separate String.
Off the top of my head (check the api) it will be something like
String[] cmd = {"C:\\Program Files\\Raytheon\\AIMSS 4.0\\Runtime\\Standard\\aimss40.exe","AAAVIETM", "3457"};
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);

XSQL command line parameters

I have a situation where I am generating some XML from a query in an XSQL and I want to use some command line parameters. This ony seems to work inside queries, e.g. given the command line "xsql quote.xsql quotetype=carhire quotenum=123" this will substitute 123 for "{@quotenum}" given the command line and leave "{@quotetype}" untouched.
<pre>
<quote type="{@quotetype}">
<xsql:query>
select price from quotes where number={@quotenum}
</xsql:query>
</quote>
</pre>
Is there a way to substitute the {@quotetype} part in XSQL?

I'm already using XSLT and I've put <xsl:param name="type"> in the stylesheet, but references to $type don't seem to get any result, e.g.
<xsl:value-of select="$type"/> is blank
and
<xsl:if test="$type='carhire'">
<xsl:text>car hire</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
doesn't generate any output either, so either I've got my syntax for parameters wrong, or the parameters don't get passed from the XSQL front end to the XSLT back end.

XSQL Command-Line, parameters with blanks

Is it possible to use XSQL Command-Line with parameters containing blanks (space characters).
In an URL parameter spaces can be encoded with "+" or "%20", but this does'nt seem to work with XSQL Command-Line parameters.
-- Peter

I can't make this work on Unix (solaris), but I can see it is a shell script problem, not a XSQL problem.
The normal syntax for Unix shell script would be
$ script.sh foo="one two"
but the standard Oracle-supplied xsql unix shell script sets environment and passes all command-line parameters to the java program with
oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLCommandLine $*
and thereby the quotes disappear.
The problem is not really big, since I could just do
oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLCommandLine test.xsql "foo=one two"
after setting classpath. Anyway, if anybody knows how to make the xsql script work with quoted parameters, let me know.
