Problems running .bat files using fscommand()

[leearach2004]

Hi there all im having a few problems with running a batch file from flash .swf file.

Im using ;

on(release){
fscommand("exec","copy.bat")
}

the folder location of the flash file is;

n:\flash\PB.swf

and the location of the .bat file is;

n:\flash\fscommand\copy.bat

but when i run the .swf file and click the nutton nothing happens.

The .bat file works fine if i click it but the .swf file as it stands will not run the .bat file

Anyone have any ideas

Will it work if you turn your swf to a Projector exe?

The only problem i have with that is that when i run my .swf it runs in full screen so the file menu is not displayed and the movie has to run in fullscreen mode

hi there thanks have done it and it works but now i have problems with my other swf file

You see i have two swf files

a main

and a program

on the button click the batch file ran and the sswf file "Program then opened" using

this.createEmptyMovieClip("target_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());

target_mc.loadMovie("PB Generator.swf");

this still opens from the new projector file after the batch file has run but the projector file graphics are still showing up behined the .swf i have opened can i clear the projector before opening the next .swf

hop you can help me

Instead of creating the empty clip in the higher depth and loading the SWF into it, you can load the SWF to itself:

this.loadMovie("PBGenerator.swf")

You can't load an executable into a MovieClip.

You should do vice versa - load "PBGenerator.swf" into "Base.exe" (or whatever you called it.)
