Other commands (beside 'fscommand') to open notepad & calculator

1

Is anyone know how to write the actionscript to open the notepad and calculator when click on the button?

2

the only way i know is using a .bat file…

open notepad to create the .bat files.

to open the calculator:

@ echo off
start %SystemRoot%\system32\calc.exe
exit

and save it as calculator.bat

to open the notepad:

@ echo off
start %SystemRoot%\system32
otepad.exe
exit

and save it as notepad.bat

and put both .bat files in a folder called fscommand.

finally, here’s the script for the buttons in flash:

notepadButton.onRelease = function() {
fscommand("exec", "notepad.bat");
};
calculatorButton.onRelease = function() {
fscommand("exec", "calculator.bat");
};

note. this will only work in projectors.

any questions? =)

hi kax:
I already solved the prev problem, but it still not working.
Actually, where should I put the ‘fscommand’ folder? And the path: ‘start %SystemRoot%\system32
otepad.exe’ in the ‘bat’ file, should it be ‘start %SystemRoot%\WINDOWS
otepad.exe’?

Thanks everyone for the helps.

well, if the path i gave you doesn’t work… use the correct path in your system.

%SystemRoot%\system32
otepad.exe works fine in mine.

and yeah… you could have replied to your previous thread. :-\

Hi everyone:
First, I like to thanks to kax and everyone for the helps. The command is working fine now. I just wondering is it any other ways to open notepad and calculator beside ‘fscommand’ ? (I can directly access the notepad and calculator without create the folder ‘fscommand’ and ‘.bat’ files.)

Thanks

Hi kax:
Is me again. Why I click the buttons to open the notepad and calculator when I press the Ctrl+Enter to test the movie? and not after I export the movie?

ehmm… what!? :stuck_out_tongue:

seriously, i didn’t understand a thing. :-\

where should I put the fscommand folder? Is it in the Flash MX folder itself?

10

nope… you put it in the same folder than your projector. :wink:

11

The projector you mean here is refer to which one? Actually, what is projector?

12

Is there anyway to open the application in swf format?

basically a projector is the .swf in .exe format. go to file>publish settings and check windows projector in the formats tab. then click on publish.

note. you don’t need the flash player installed in order to run a projector.

and i don’t know if there’s a way to run the application in .swf format. i haven’t tried it.
