Flash Projector loses focus and other problems

[bazookaman]

This is driving me crazy!

Problem 1.
I've created a presentation in Flash and published as a projector exe. When I open a PDF from the presentation the fullscreen projector reverts to windowed mode and that's it.

Problem 2.
I am also trying to launch an exe from the projector using:

on (release) {
	fscommand("exec", "folder/application.exe");
}

The file is in fscommand > folder > application.exe. It will not run when clicked. Am I writing the AS wrong?

Problem 1:

not sure what's causing that!

Problem 2:

why are you creating a folder named fscommand, and not referring it in the path?

Hi,
try this..

fscommand("fullscreen", "true");

fscommand("trapallkeys", "True"); // since there's more than one true fscommand, need to change the case

fscommand("allowscale", "TRue");

#1. You can't stay in fullscreen mode in a projector if you launch an application. It's not a bug, it's a security feature. It's so the user can see what you're doing and not trying to hide something.

#2. You can't use paths in the EXEC command, the only thing you're allowed to have in there is a filename. That's it. The EXE you want to launch has to be in the fscommand folder.

If you need to do those things then your only solution is a third party SWF2EXE application. They cost a few bucks but most of them will do what you want.
