Northcode's Runtime.exe verses Proxy.exe

[nycomet]

It's me again -

Northcode, you just turned "2desktop" into a MAJOR utility for copying files from a CD-ROM (projector) to the PC users desktop!!!!

This is how I set it up:

I used "proxy.exe" and changed the name to "getfile01.exe"

I created a .bat file and I named it "getfile01.bat"

(this procedure avoids the DOS screen from popping up)


.bat file has this text on it:
===================
2desktop myfile01.jpeg message / myfile has been saved to your desktop / My CD-ROM File Manager


In Flash, the button has this code:
==========================
{on (release) {
fscommand("exec","getfile01.exe");
}


I published the Flash projector. When the button is pressed, a message window popped up to announce that the designated file was saved to the desktop!

PERFECT!!!!
==========

Thank you Northcode! You are my HERO!!!!!

This was the most helpful thread I read about this topic by a long shot. Everyone else only seems to know a little about it. But with your instruction and description, this was great.

I am making a dual platform CD with a flash projector on it that will allow the user to download word .docs to their computer. I have the pc side done, and have followed a number of tutotials including this one for the mac, and though everything looks good, i cant get the button to launch the doc!

All in flash 8

here is my fscommand script:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "launcher.scpt");
}
on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "1doc.bat");
}

here is my applescript:
tell application "Finder"
activate
select file "1.doc" of disk "Turnarond Solutions 5W's Method"
open selection
end tell

Save as/Application
Checked: Startup Screen
Not Checked: Run Only, Stay Open

I read all the 6 pages of this thread and I did not see if it is possible to do this :

PROJECTOR FILE:
===========
on (release)
{
cmd = "printrez.exe" add chr(9) add "/f Design.jpg" add chr(9) add "/m Copy success";
fscommand("exec", cmd);
}
================


BAT FILE ( printrez.bat ):
============
copy2 %1 %2 %3
===========

It does not work and I'm not sure if it is possible or what I'm doing wrong

I have to make ~ 20 butons which have to copy some files from CD on HDD and I dn't want to create for every file another 2 (bat & exe ) .. can you please guide me ?

10x in advance

The trick you're trying to use (passing arguments from Flash to an external EXE/BAT file) will only work with Flash 5. Macromedia made changes in versions of Flash after that to close security holes in the standalone player.

Unless you use a third party swf2exe tool (see list below), the only solution is to create 2 files for each file you want to print using your utility -- (1) a BAT file that opens the file you want and (2) a copy of PROXY.EXE renamed to the same as the BAT file to launch the BAT file and hide the DOS box.

It's a bit of a pain, but the price is right

Finally, here's a list of third party ($) tools that you might want to check out...

Hi, Im using proxy.exe to open some video files in a cd-rom and everything works amazing; but when I open it in Windows Vista the files don't open, only opens the application...

the .bat file (conferencia1.bat) has this line:
start conferencia1.wmv

the proxy file was renamed to conferencia1.exe

the code in the button is:

on(release){
fscommand("exec","conferencia1.exe");
}

All the .bat, .exe, and .wmv files are inside the fscommand folder. Can anyone help me?

Thank's

What's wrong????

That's a problem. If they really pull XP off the shelf in June, then I have alot of CD-ROM's that need some files updated.
