I'm trying to
-access a .bat file from an swf
-have the .bat file run various tools
-have the .swf show the status of the tools running.

I'm running The Master's Beta Tool's v.4.3 using the standalone app that accesses a command prompt and minimizes the command line window.

I'm able to access the .bat ok using fscommand, but not sure how to pass variable back to swf to show graphic status...

I'm thinking I need to pass the variable once an application is complete from the .bat, but how do I get the .swf file to read it? From there I'd translate that to a graphical interface that shows tool 1 has completed.

Also, can I use the fscommand to access a .bat file in a swf that is embedded in an html file? I'm assuming it's an obvious no....
thanks.
