Hi i dont know if anyone knows the UnrealTournament game engine but i must ask someone after all the forum about Unreal send me here so please dont do the same opossite.
i am doing some project about my university in Greece and i want to make an application in Macromedia Flash, which will have a button which will open directly a map in runtime. I dont want to open the .exe file leads to main screen. I want to open directly the map, in full screen ready for play. Is this possible?

Welcome aboard,
You could absolutely open unreal from a Flash projector file, whether or not you could boot directly to your map would depend on the Unreal engine, which I'm no expert on.

Many game engines offer a way to pass commands to the exe and Unreal may well have that option. (Like unreal.exe -map/mymap.map)

From the Flash end you would create a projector, and using fscommand either launch the exe you need, or a bat file containing instructions.

Well, is it even possible to open a map directly outside Flash ?
well no as far as i know you must run the .exe file and then through this you open-choose the map which are contained in onother folder than the .exe and then you build run,
so....
