Northcode's Runtime.exe verses Proxy.exe

[nycomet]

Hello Northcode,

I tried your "proxie.exe" / "proxie.bat" solution to open files from a dual platform CD-ROM in the native application of the target file I want to open (Word files, PDF files and WinZip files).

To my amazement, your "proxie.exe" / "proxie.bat" solution works perfectly and no DOS command window opens at all. Before using your solution, I used the getURL command in Flash to open files. This way sucked because it triggers the default web browser to handle the command. YUCK.

Thank you for your SIMPLE and VALUABLE solution to open files on my CD-ROM project. On the PC side, your your "proxie.exe" / "proxie.bat" solution is only a little more complex than using an Applescript on the Mac side. The Mac Applescript is really simple and it handles the command in one Applescript without the need for a separate bat file.

If only some of the third party Flash solution software was also available for the Mac.

Now: how do I get a file (ie: a jpeg) to transfer from the CD and be saved onto the PC Desktop? There's a simple Applescript to do this on the Mac side. Is there any code for the PC??

Thanks again, Northcode!!!!
