FScommand exec

[devoto]

FScommand("exec","some.exe") works.
FScommand("exec","http://127.0.0.1/some.exe") doesn't.

does "some.exe" have to be on the same HD as the Flash Projector for "exec" to work?

Or can we use a http or Network address for it?

Thanks

I think FS in FScommand means "for standalone", that means you can use it in standalone player only. So, i don't think it will work on network.

I get your point. But I am building a "standalone" which interacts with a Network server (to load variables, get files etc). It does work.

but when I try:
FScommand("exec","http://127.0.0.1/some.exe") doesn't.
Flash doesn't find some.exe and I need it to.

Maybe if I mapped a local drive to the Network folder containing some.exe I could use the absolute path eg

FScommand("exec","X:/some.exe") ;

Anyone got any ideas?

for standalone functions of FSCommand, check:

etc. etc.

but if you want to triger some .exe on the server, use:

loadVariables("http://127.0.0.1/some.exe","");

for example...

and of course you can access mapped drive with:

fscommand("exec","X:\\some.exe");

hope it helps...

Can I use this command from a browser not standalone:
loadVariables("http://127.0.0.1/some.exe?var1=whatever","");
to send the param var1 to some.exe ?
If so will it work with local files ie
loadVariables("C:/some.exe?var1=whatever","");

I have tried with no success so far.

Thanks
