The extension for a Mac projector (any Mac app) under OS 9 is... nothing. Mac apps don't need an extension to run. Many apps under OS X will have a ".app" extension, but it is not necessary.

As...

Yes, I do know how to write some AppleScript. But I am by no means a "pro" at it or anything like that.

Let me know what you need the script to do and I will see if I can help you.

Here is the link to the thread that lists some of the restrictions for the fscommand in Flash MX. I think you already posted to the thread, but it was above the post that lists all the rules, so...

I recently ran into some frustration with exec in fscommand on my Mac. Last night I wanted my projector to execute an AppleScript when I clicked on a certain button. I could get it to work under...

It's on its way. Thanks a million.

I'll be anxiously awaiting your reply. I'm sure it is something stupid that I did that is making this not work. I bet you'll fix it in .2 seconds. ;)

Okay, I tried it with the frame label and it still won't work (it just does nothing). Where can I upload my .fla file to you? Can I email it to you?

Thanks a ton for the help.

I tried using your script for nested buttons but it doesn't work. The button just does nothing.

If I un-nest the buttons, they work. I think I might be able to do this without too much difficulty...

Okay, I just made a brand spankin' new document with two scenes and one button. I inserted the stop commands at the end of each scene and scripted the button to jump from scene 1 to scene 2. Guess...

Yes. All scenes have a stop command in a layer named "actions" on the last frame in the scene.

The first scene plays and stops on the last frame, like it should, where I have the buttons setup at....

I am having the same problem.

I created my first scene, then duplicated the scene to get my second and third scenes. I then went into the second and third scenes, changed the content a bit and...

If you want an application on a CD-ROM to autorun on a Mac, you can use Toast to master the CD. One of the options when burning a Mac CD with toast is to autorun an application that is going on the...

I wonder if perhaps Aelo was referring to when and if anyone knows of a release date for a carbonized version of Flash (the authoring environment) for Mac OS X...

I don't know when this will come...

Thanks for the reply. I went to macromedia.com as you suggested and did a quick search and it took me all of 30 seconds to find the document containing the solution.

For the benefit of others on...

There has been much talk about it and its creator on these forums. I find it rather nice.

Okay, I've got some external text files that I'm loading into my Flash presentation - everything is working fine except for one *little* thing...

The "+" character (as in C/C++) doesn't show up...

I had the same problem. However, I was able to work around the problem with some help. It wasn't a graceful workaround, as it involved a totally different solution that was a compromise on what I...

Thanks again for the help.

I'm still not quite getting the restrain to option's workings. Here are the stats for my movie:

640x480 canvas size
444x232 window size (what I'm trying to drag and...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm still unsure how you did that. The example on your page is something like what I want to acheive.

Did you use the restrain to rectangle feature in the actions...

I have read both of the excellent tutorials on FlashKit that deal with scrolling text (Actionscript for Flash 5 dummies: Scrolling a text box I & II). To the author and the people who frequent...

Oh, thank you so much! I didn't know it would be that little of work (relatively speaking, of course)!

I can't say thanks enough. Again, thank you!

Happy Flashing,

Thanks for the replies. I haven't had time to get back to that particular procject until today. Sorry for the lag.

I tried the ftools solution and it works - mostly. I would like to be able to...

Thanks for the help. I didn't notice the web browser being in the background until after I started this thread and then did some more experimenting with the getURL action.

My next question is how...

I just want to insert a quick line about how great FlashKit is. I couldn't have done nearly as much in such a short amount of time without it! Now, on to my problem...

I have a flash project that...

You say you have a link that opens outlook on top of your full-screen projector file?

How are you doing this? I'm using the getURL action with mailto and can't even get Outlook to open, let alone...
