- i would like to know also.. i think i saw interfacing with DLL , but didnt see an example with a EXE

[rtsamir]

Yes, There is no problem to run C++ DLL that will run the EXE. But I want to keep it simple for cross platforms (the EXE is an Air project)

I think you are limited to using a DLL.

[squadjot]

Keeping the main application in AIR is still good idea.. so u only have to create a small "proxy"-like script (for each platform*) - that will shove your arguments on to ur AIR app.

[rtsamir]

You mean DLL for each platform?
If there is no other option, I'll do that.

[squadjot]

Yeah, i'm not sure what's DLL equivalent on i.e. MAC, but yes.. something like that.

Atleast that would be what i would try.. nomatter what interface/OS it SHOULD be a pretty basic task.. getting a string value from X - passing it on to Y..

There is undocumented JSFL method:
FLfile.runCommandLine("c:/App.exe");


Just annoying that it open a command window and closing it only after the application closed.

If someone know more undocumented JSFL method

I think we should open special thread for it.

Interesting. I wonder if you can pass on additional parameters? (to either the commandline window...or the app your executing)

When the commandline shuts down, the JFSL is probably continues. I guess its working like a "pause".

Edit: Also again, this will probably only work on windows
