Any more ideas? I'm still stuck on this. (Thanks for all the help narrowing this down...)

It doesn't seem like that helped. When Firefox already has a window open, it does not bring it to the front at all. When there was no firefox window open, it worked a little bit. I tried this...

this might fix it?!

I'm not sure why, but calling the bat file directly seems to make it work better.

the browser has still gone behind the projector sometimes, but it is much more reliable and...

OK, I tried your modified code for the browser.bat. It made the cmd.exe stay visible and I saw it run through a bunch of code and stay on the screen while my browser was set to topmost and stayed...

OK, I tried clicking on browser.exe and browser.bat. That didn't do anything.

Then, I tried opening topmost from the command prompt, and that worked. My web browser was on top of everything and...

That's what I thought you meant. I opened the c prompt window, put "topmost Mozilla Firefox" in there and it came back ""topmost" is not recognized as an internal command operable program or batch...

I'm not sure what you mean. What command line?

The version of firefox I'm using DOES put "mozilla Firefox" in the name. For example, this page is:

Flash Kid Community Forums - Reply to Topic - Mozilla Firefox

I'll try your latest test. Thanks.

I now see what you mean, that the website should NOT go behind the interface even if I click on the projector. Strange...

I'm using Windows XP and Firefox...

Thanks Northcode, but that doesn't work either.
I'd already tried this code before I bugged you!?



With your code, or with my original non-topmost buttons, here is what happens:

Hey Northcode! Thanks again for all your help on this!

I am using Flash 8, and I think that is causing problems. I couldn't open the web.fla file. It said "Unexpected File Format"

So, I put...

OK, I have topmost.exe in my fscommand folder.

I can't get it to open any webpages though. All of the examples of topmost usage that I've found are for opening PDFs or other things.

I...

Thanks!

This one worked!




I have heard of that "depreciated" thing, but what does it mean? Do those scripts no longer work? Or are they just not necessary?

This seems like it should be easy, but it's been driving me crazy... :yikes:

A movie clip called "Symbol_4" contains all of the navigation and frames of my movie.

This method DID work. Thanks! BUT, I realized a strange problem. Some of the links were working and others were not. I experimented with a few things and discovered that it does not work if you...

I just looked at FooChuck's thread here: http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=794074 and found some good advice, but not an answer for this issue.

Hi,
I'm launching PPT files from a CD-based Projector interface.
It's using Northcode's proxy.exe to hide the bat files and it's working OK.

BUT when I load some of these presentations, they...

I've received some of your advice on Flash related stuff in the past on the flashkit boards, so thought you guys might have some helpful advice.

I could make an XML file with a fixed name, sure. But wouldnt that file have to contain the specific name of the .PDF?

Where could I find more about this to get it to do what I'm talking about?...

I have a CD that autoruns and pops up an .EXE flash interface. This interface provides a menu linking to my powerpoint and PDF files that the user can click on and open.

To link to the PDF, I...

Check out my new webcomic "Cy-Boar". I've been working on this site for a few months, and it's finally ready to launch. (I have been drawing the offline version of this comic since the 80's....)

That is not good either though. Rather than running the BAT file, this pops up an explorer window...

Maybe that is where I screwed up. I'm used to older versions of Flash where I could edit my library object (button) and put an action on the "down" part of the animation or whatever.

Now, when I...

I tried what you suggested, and I tried it like this:


on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "/Presentation.bat");
}

when I test the SWF, which I put in the root directory, nothing happens.
