Technical Difference Between shell.run and shell.runAndWait

[Sean]

Hello -

I am trying to launch a custom exe from my SWF exe. Things work fine when I use shell.run, but when I use shell.runAndWait, the exe is not visible. Every combination of show_flags works fine with run, but none of them make the exe visible with shell.runAndWait.

Is there something that SWF does that might be causing this? Any suggestions on fixes or workarounds?

Thanks,
Sean.

Please try to minimize the main window.

getMainWnd().windowState = "minimized";
Shell.runAndWait("notepad.exe");
getMainWnd().windowState = "normal";

The run method and runAndWait method work in the same way, the only difference is the 'run' method returns a Window object immediatly and the 'runAndWait' method does not return until the launched app is ended.
