EXE not completely exiting

[maxxA]

After using the FSCommand "Quit" in Flash to kill the app, the SWFkit Shell continues to run invisible in the system processes. What's the best way to avoid that?

please download SWFKit again, from this url:

http://www.swfkit.com/download/swfkit.exe

and have a try, if the problem still exist, don't hesitate to tell us, thanks!

It worked initially, but now the problem is back. Closing the Main Window with the FFish Script doesn't help either. I had 12 instances running in my processes.

I have been having the same problem. I tried installing both of the files, but neither fixed the problem. The problem seems to occur when I open an instance of the media player using the following code:

mp=createControl("MediaPlayer.MediaPlayer.1", rect_obj.left, rect_obj.top, rect_obj.right, rect_obj.bottom);
mp.window.bringToTop();
mp.activex.AutoSize=true;
mp.activex.AllowChangeDisplaySize=false;
mp.activex.ShowControls=false;
mp.activex.AutoStart=false;
mp.activex.ReadyStateChange=mp_ReadyStateChange;
mp.activex.Open(videoPath_str);

I then "close" the player using the following code:
mp.activex.Stop();
mp.window.close();
mp = null;

When I "close" the media player, it disappears from the screen. But when I close the SWFKit application and then I look at my system processes, the SWFKit application is still running. I do not have this problem with SWFKit applications that do not "open" the media player. I also do not have this problem with SWFKit applications that "open" the media player if i never call the script that actually opens the media player.

As I was writing this post, I just discovered something very interesting -- if I play the video by clicking on it and then close the SWKKit application, the application no longer runs in the system processes. I have tried this many time, and it works everytime. This is not an acceptable solution because I have created my own movie controls to match the branding of my SWFKit application. Is there someway to "fake" the click? I couldn't find a reference, but is there some way to give the media player window focus?

I am working on a project with video for a client with very slow machines. Having the SWFKit application running invisibly in the system processes will not be acceptable to them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, ActionStu

We really appreciate your help.

We tested the code in many Windows systems and haven't found out the problem yet. Would you mind sending us a demo (with the output exe file)?

Thanks!

I can try to walk you through what I did, but I do not think I can send you my source files. The work I am doing is for a client who requires all the people who see it to sign non-disclosure agreements. The information contained within the application is proprietary. Is there anyway we can work on this problem without me sending you files?

I have been working on this problem and one thing that I have found is that the problem only occurs when the media player is "stopped" on faster machines. I have written code to work around this. However, I still have the original problem no matter what play state the media player is in on slower machines. Please note that this problem only occurs when I am using the media player activex control with a SWFKit application.

Thanks again.

Thanks.
We are doing more tests to resolve the problem.

There is still an issue with multiple instances of the EXE staying active invisibly in the processes. I know you were looking into it... has there been any conclusion reached or a script to assure a clean exit?

[SWFKit]

The problem doesn't occur any more. Whatever, could you send us a sample? We will test it in SWFKit 2.0.

Thanks.
