…and since im able to “webview” the background with my own html file… ive been working on a flash interface in the background…(a type of html quicklaunch, but in flash)… i was just wondering how i would launch and application through flash…
ive tried it as a link to a specific EXE file through my computer… but it doesnt seem to work… and the “run:” command dosent work… so im kinda stumpped… what command would i use… think any of you hard core flash action scripters can help me out?
My friend, that explanation would take entirely too long.
Basically, though, you can use fscommand to execute items in a browser or you can call javascript, or activex stuff.
I’d suggest you read up on it in the actionscript dictionary to see if it will even meet your needs. If it will, perhaps we could pick it up from there.
Here’s some additional info, too. If you publish your Flash as a projector, you can launch exe files, but they have to be in a subfolder of your projector EXE file. So, for example:
on (release) {
fscommand (“exec”, “notepad.exe”);
}
If you had notepad.exe in a subfolder of your projector EXE, and that subfolder was named “fscommand”, when you pressed that button, notepad would launch.
