Opening Word Document
- Thread starter Jusenkyo
- Start date
Code:
on(release){
getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yoursite.com/your.doc",[/URL] "_blank");
}Obviously replace the url and .doc by your's, and use "_self" rather than "_blank" if you don't want to open a new window, but open the .doc in the same window as the Flash movie itself.
Regards,

That doesn't seem to work...
The document I want to open up is on our file server (I am building an Intranet Site).
I wanted to just open that document, as well as a few spreadsheets, not in a web browser window (which is what the code oldnewbie gave me is trying to do) but just like it would if you double clicked on a shortcut!
I have tried a simple hyperlink, but it asks you if you want to download or open the file from its current location...
Is there any way that I can just get it to open straight away?
Cheers

I have some ASP code here that I think might open documents of any type not in a browser...

Response.Buffer = True

Const adTypeBinary = 1
strFilePath = "C:\ whatever the path is "
strFileSize = ... the size of file .. optional
strFileName = the file na,e
Response.Clear
'8*******************************8
' Requires MDAC 2.5 to be stable
' I recommend MDAC 2.6 or 2.7
'8*******************************8
Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream"
objStream.Open
objStream.Type = adTypeBinary
objStream.LoadFromFile strFilePath
strFileType = lcase(Right(strFileName, 4))
' Feel Free to Add Your Own Content-Types Here
Select Case strFileType

Case Else

End Select
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename= strFileName
Response.AddHeader "Content-Length", strFileSize
' In a Perfect World, Your Client would also have UTF-8 as the default
' In Their Browser
Response.Charset = "UTF-8"
Response.ContentType = ContentType
Response.BinaryWrite objStream.Read
Response.Flush
objStream.Close
Set objStream = Nothing
%>
Any ideas where I need to put this in the code? I am not very good with ASP...

I'm no server side scripter myself at all... Suggest you look into fscommand and "exec". Watch it new restrictions apply since MX, a fscommand subfolder among other things...
To open a specific file, you might also need to use a batch file (.bat)...
Otherwise, you acan have a look at this...
Or maybe 3rd party software as Flashjester, Flash Studio, or the free...

Ahhhh, that looks like a good idea... I'll try the Flashgeek one...
The code to call an executable, I think, goes something like this:
filename = "test.exe";
fscommand ("exec", "start\t" + filename);
fscommand ("exec", "cmd\t/c\t"+filename);
Where the text.exe is the program that I got from flashgeek... which opens the file location that I have specified (Works if you just double click it).
Does that look right?
