SWF Auto Launch from CD

Is there a way to burn a swf file to a dvd/cd and have the
swf file automatically launch when the cd is inserted into the
computer? If so, can anyone tell me how to do this?

create a text file and name it autorun.inf and insert the
following info:
[autorun]
open=Start.exe
icon=icon.ico
This launches the Start.exe file that you created in Flash.
next create a text file and name it flash_main.xml and change
the names in this example code:
<main>
<config>
<intro asset="assets/TC_CD_Intro.swf"/>
</config>

Include the following on your cd:
- an Assets folder - it will probably include a file named
CD_Intro.swf and a Videos folder that contains your flash videos.
- Start.exe file
- an autorun.inf file
- an xml folder containing the .xml file
now, what do I get in return? Do you have a job
opening?

Disable iPhoto auto launch w/ plist?

I know you can disable iPhoto auto launch from the Image Capture app, but I would like to know where Image Capture saves its preferences so I can disable it by editing or replacing a plist.
I need to change preferences on a whole lab of Macs, and I would prefer to do it remotely on all of them at once if possible.
I looked but I can't seem to find where the preferences are saved. If anyone knows or knows of an easy way to do it let me know. Thanks.
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It seems to be this file:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.ImageCapture2.00039343a1a8 .plist"
At any rate, that is the file that contains this entry, as the sole thing in the file:
HotPlugActionPath String /Applications/Image Capture.app
So you can try adding/deleting this file and see if that will do what you want.

How do I stop iTunes from auto-launching when connecting iPod.

I have found one method of doing this set out below.
You may want to stop iTunes from auto-launching whenever you plug in your iPod. To do this, open iTunes, and select the iPod in the left-hand Source window. Four buttons will then appear in the lower right-hand corner of the iTunes window. Click the left-most button with the iPod icon on it. This will bring up the iPod Preferences dialog. Uncheck the option labeled "Open iTunes when attached." You probably also want to prevent iTunes from trying to automatically synchronize your iPod when you connect by selecting the "Manually manage songs and playlists" option in the same Preferences dialog.
I am unable to find the iPod icon in the left hand Source window, maybe if I connect my iPod an icon will appear, but I don't want to do this in case stuff is transferred between the iPod and Comp or vice versa.
Sorry to be so long winded, but it was difficult to explain without being so.
If any one knows of another way to do what I am trying to do
Perhaps they would let me know.
ASP Windows XP Pro

okay. in a 7.0.x, we no longer get the "ipod options" icon when the ipod is plugged in and selected in the sourcelist (the area to the left of the iTunes screen). instead, the ipod options and preferences display for us in the main library screen.
"Open iTunes when this ipod is connected" is kept down at the bottom of the "Summary" tab. (scroll down to the bottom of that tab to see everything under the "Options" heading.)
"manually manage music" (or "manually manage music and videos" if you've got a video-capable ipod) is also kept down at the bottom of the "Summary" tab in the Options area.
for a technique for connecting the ipod without automatically syncing (if you have an automatic syncing option set on the ipod already), and then changing the options to "manually manage music", see:
How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
unfortunately, that document is also written for itunes 6.0.x or earlier. so in your case the instructions under the "Now that you're logged in as the Guest user, it's time to get back to iTunes and your iPod:" section at steps 4, 5 and 6 should read:
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the Summary Tab
5. Check the "Manually manage music" checkbox.
6. Click "Apply".

How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?

How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?
It's really annoying for Quicktime player to auto-lauch!

It may not be that simple David. They're using a "server" and some of the Apache software may want to launch QuickTime at boot.
This isn't really a QuickTime question. It's a sever question best answered in those Discussion pages.

Making an AIR auto launch swf

I have a client asking me to make an auto launch swf for their AIR app, which I did not develop. I modified their current AIRInstallBadge and it works fine, but now they want a swf on a page that will just auto launch it with no interaction. Basically a swf with no UI, invisible. Is that possible? I've tried the following with no success:
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
var appID:String = validateString(paramObj.appid);
var pubID:String = validateString(paramObj.pubid);
var appLaunchArg:Array = validateString(paramObj.applauncharg) == null ? (null) : ([paramObj.applauncharg]);
var airSWF:Object;
var airSWFLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var AIR_SWF_URL:String = "http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/browserapi/air.swf";
airSWFLoader.load(new URLRequest(AIR_SWF_URL));
airSWFLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, handleAIRSWFError);
airSWFLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleAIRSWFInit);
function handleAIRSWFInit(event:Event) : void
     airSWF = airSWFLoader.content;
      airSWF.launchApplication(appID, pubID, appLaunchArg);
function handleAIRSWFError(event:IOErrorEvent) : void
    Text.text = "unable to load air.swf";
function validateString(param1:String) : String
return param1 == null || param1.length < 1 || param1.indexOf("<") >= 0 || param1.indexOf(">") >= 0 ? (null) : (param1);
I've tested and all parameters get loaded. I'm sure i'm missing some protocols or it's not possible for for security reasons. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

Never mind, I just found the answer. Nope you can't do it.
The launchApplication() method can only operate when called in the event handler for a user event, such as a mouse click.

How to stop Bridge from auto-launching

I recently enabled a option to auto launch Bridge and I think I did it through inDesign CS5.
Where do I stop Bridge from auto launching?
Thank you for any help!
Best,
John

You may find that it's not a 'Bridge' thing. I presume you are on a Mac... and have the lastest OS?
When you do a hard shut down and then restart, any apps that were open will re-open.
Also if you quit a program with something open. Quitting and restarting the program automatically opens what was previously open.
I find that I have gotten into the habit of closing before quitting... quite annoying.
I hope I didn't go off topic too much...

How to prevent iTunes from auto-launching at login

For some reason, after every restart or logout/login, iTunes will auto-launch at login.
I initially thought that iTunes Helper in Login Items may be the culprit. So, I removed it from the list of Login Items. But, iTunes still launches automatically after login.
How can I prevent the auto launch?

Yup. I think this may have to do with .itms files. Apple has allowed web sites to open itunes with an autolaunch command. I think that the .itms files are the ones that auto launch itunes. I think what we are suffering here is a misuse of the itunes autolaunch command. Web developers seem to be able to launch itunes and try to display their products for purchase. It seems like Itunes has been turned into a 'Pop-Up' advertisement. I hope Apple takes notice and fixes it. I have been having this problem since I got this new i5 Imac in January.

X11/xterm: can't launch from terminal in Tiger 10.4.11 PPC

[Copied over from another part of this forum (wrong place)]
I have set up my .profile PATH so that 'which' finds xterm via the terminal command line, but invoking 'xterm' gets the response:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
What do I need to configure so that the command 'xterm' starts X11 and opens an xterm window?
xterm runs fine from the drop down when I run X11.app
There are no DISPLAY options set anywhere.
Does this work in Tiger? (It does for me in Leopard and SL)
DN

Tiger will NOT auto launch X11 when you attempt to run an X-Windows based program.
Leopard and Snow Leopard will auto launch X11 when you attempt to run a X-Windows program.
You could change your .profile to
open -a X11 /usr/X11/bin/xterm

Front Row auto launches on login

Now why would that be? About 4-5 seconds after logging in my user, Leopard auto launches Front Row. Leopard is choosy in this regard, as it does not extend the same 'courtesy' for my wife's account or that of the sysadmin.
Anyone else seen this oddity and got a way out of it?
Cheers,
Nige.

Don't just uncheck the box next to the name of the program. Click on the program to select it, and then click on the - (minus) button below the list of programs to actually remove the program from your startup list.
It doesn't remove the program from the computer, just the startup list for that account. I use the + button to add programs like AddressBook, Mail, and iCal to my user account so that they automatically launch when I log in. You are just trying to remove a program from that list totally.

Help, iTunes refuses to not auto launch when iPhone connected to computer

Hi, anyone else have this obnoxious problem? I unchecked "auto syncing" and all of the possible disabling options in iTunes>Preferences. Another forum I visted mentioned disabling iTunes Helper. I am having a problem launching iTunes Helper because I did a search from the main Windows Start area (lower left of computer screen), and iTunes Helper does show up with a .exe extension showing it's an application. However, when I click on it, it just disappears. It's also not listed in "My Programs" or when I run "msconfig". Is finding iTunes Helper so I can disable it what I need here to keep iTunes from auto launching when the iPhone is connected, or is my solution in doing something else? I'm using iTunes 9.0.25 Any solid help here is much appreciated!

I don't have an iPhone but I imagine it is probably similar to using an iPod. When I connect the iPod to the computer and it shows up in iTunes under devices, click on the device (iPhone), in the device screen that appears there is an options section that has a check-box "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected." Un-check it.

TS1717 iTunes will not auto-launch like it used to on Win7. Also cannot start in SAFE mode

I've had this computer & this installation of iTunes for a very long time. It has always worked perfectly, and will auto-start every time I connect the iPhone. (my iPhone would light up and display the "Sync in Progress" message on its screen)
The last few times I've connected it (same phone, same cord, same USB port, same comp., same install of Win7, no Library changes, no new components, no AntiVirus changes - nothing different) iTunes will NOT launch, and the Sync wil not take place.
But...
If -- after connecting the iPhone -- I manually launch iTunes, it proceeds normally thru the various steps except that the iPhone does NOT display any messages on its screen. I've tried several times, and re-booted the comp several times. I've also followed the Apple T/S steps and deleted the two config files & re-booted. No difference.
Yes - the preferences are set to allow the Sync when I plug in the iPhone.
Yes - I am the only user.
Yes - I am using a working cable...into a working USB port.
No - I have no third party add-ons or extensions.
One odd thing:
On the many, many previous occasions that I've opened the list of Running Applications...iTunesHelper.exe has been opne of the various apps running on the computer. Lately that app has vanished from the list, and...
No - I have not un-checked it in the STARTUP list.

Well...I was partially-blind.
I had a second look at my MSCONFIG list...and 'waay down at the bottom was iTunesHelper...with its checkbox clear. oops.
I ticked it of course, and then manually launched iTunesHelper.exe and re-connected the iPhone. iTunes auto-launched, and (as usual) it stepped thru the various stages like it's supposed to, but still no pop-up message on the iPhone screen.
Now I'm wondering if that came to an end when I made the jump to the iPhone5 from iPhone4(?) because it certainly seems to be syncing alright...just no pop-up on the iPhone's screen.

Apps auto-launch on startup, despite System Prefs and quitting before shutdown.

All apps that were open before shutdown are relaunching themselves upon startup.
This behavior occurs even if I quit each application individually before initiating system shutdown.
This behavior occurs whether I tick or untick the following settings within System Preferences / General:
• Ask to keep changes when closing documents.
• Close windows when quitting an application.
This behavior occurs despite none of the apps being listed within System Prefs / Login Items.
Examples of auto-launching apps (behavior occured just now with these): TextEdit, Dictionary, Calendar, Contacts, Safari, Firefox, Excel, Acrobat.
I am the administrator and only user on this machine.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select

from the menu bar.

ITunes auto launches on startup (no iPod/Phone connected)

For the last couple of weeks (perhaps longer) I've noticed iTunes launches itself whenever I restart my MacBook Pro.
There is no iPhone connected at the time.
Everything is up to date in software.
I've removed iTunes helper from my login items.
I'm at a loss.
Your assistance in resolving this matter would be very much appreciated.
Cheers!
Darcy

I just tried restarting again, this time with iTunes last closed on my music tab rather than the store tab, where I realized it had been parked for some time.
iTunes still auto launched on startup, though after a longer delay than usual.
AND after I quit iTunes, it auto launched itself again. That was a first.
For what it's worth.

Multiple projects, yet one flash file launched from browser

Hello everyone, I glad to be a part of this wonderful community. I have a really sticky Captivate 4 problem, and I wanted to get my feelers out there now before I really need to get this done before the end of the week. This question has to do with publishing. I have 7 project files, and I created a "menu" slide at the end of each of them that look exactly the same. In this particular slide, there are 7 'click boxes' spread throughout the page that launch all the other projects. If you are wondering why I did this, it's because I'm trying to cut back on load time when a user click on any individual project. Now, my programmer can only launch one .swf file from our webpage to get the first project started. So, does this mean Captivate will dynamically handle launching all of the other projects(assuming multiple flash files are created) when they are launched from these "menu" slides? I'm a bit confused. I'm likely confusing some of you as well. It is hard to put the problem into writing. Please help!

Okay, so lets look at the problem, shall we?
You created seven projects. But you later asked:
So, does this mean Captivate will dynamically handle launching all of the other projects (assuming multiple flash files are created) when they are launched from these "menu" slides?
First off, with seven different projects, you end up with seven different outputs. Assuming you are using Captivate in the basic form, you will end up with seven different SWF files and seven different HTM files that need to be factored into things. You may have more files than that, depending on your options used.
When you create the links using the Click Boxes, hopefully you used the option: Open other project. This means that when the user clicks, the other SWF/HTM or EXE (depending on output) will be launched.
I'm sure you will have other questions. So just post back either in threads of their own or by replying to this thread.
Cheers... Rick
