how to user runApp component?

[alvin3343]

sorry i am not sure what you write
could you please write an example?

_root.runapp.run().....



2. RunApp

This components helps you to launch external executable files. The "exec" FSCommand of Flash has many restrictions, this component improves it. It has three properties
i) Application - specifies the name of the application to run. E.g.
c:\myapp\test.exe
test.exe
fscommand\test.exe
ii) Parameters - specifies the parameters to be passed to the application to run
iii) Path - It can be one of the following 4 values:
a) Same of the application path: The "Application" method specifies an application in the same folder of the application which the swf movie is about to convert to. Note: the exec fscommand requires the exes to be in the "fscommand" folder, if you're rewriting the fscommand using this component, you must specify the proper exe name. E.g.
fscommand: fscommand("exec", "myapp.exe")
RunApp component: Application: fscommand\myapp.exe; Parametersblank);Path:Same of the app path
Of course you can move all the exe files in the fscommand folder to their parent folder and specify the "Application" property without "fscommand\", for the example, just "myapp.exe", no longer "fscommand\myapp.exe"
b) In the attachment list: the applications are added into the attachment list of SWFKit
c) Absolute path name: the "Application" property specifies a full path name, including the drive name
d) System path: such as notepad, calculator, and so on

hi,
You can just tell me how to set properties of runapp .

_root.runapp.Application="sample.exe"
_root.runapp.Parameters=""
_root.runapp.Path="path to the app"
_root.runapp.run() ....not working

_root.runapp.run("sample.exe" ,"","path to the app")...not working too

and why does runapp always execute notepad.exe ?

Is it possible to dynamically fill in the "parameters" parameter??

"..//data//" + txtId.text + "//PPT//" + txtId.text + "//.pps"

[SWFKit]

Sure, you can add parameters.

I've checked the sample, it says runapp "sample.exe",
but I can't found where the "sample.exe" is!
and the path "myapps"!

I've checked your manual, found no info about component "runapp"

why? what?

Hello.

Nice forum design. Okay, I need your help.
So, I wanna make online-shop, and I am looking for site template.
Can you suggest some online catalog or other resource where I can find many site templates?

It would be better if it will be free
I think many of us have personal sites, do you design it yourself?

Regards, Bill.

Is there any way to use this solution with FLEX 2.0/AS3?

I'm not sure how to install an MXP into Flex.

Any help is appreciated.
