freeMX - where?

[alex747]

After figuring out I need freeMX to get my browser window popping up in front of the projector, I can't get the http://freemx.arsware.org link to work. Is this app available for download anywhere else?

Many thanks,
Alex

FreeMX is long gone from arsware.org. But I found it here:

I've also attached it in this thread, post #6...

FYI I was struggling with the window focus issue this morning and I discovered that if you execute the same FScommand twice, the second instance forces the window to the front. Eg:
fscommand("exec","app.exe");
fscommand("exec","app.exe");

There may be an equivalent trick with getURL, might be worth looking into

That only works because of the application you're running, it's not a general solution. The app you're starting is aware of other instances of itself and instead of starting another instance it just sets focus to the already running copy. If you try this with notepad, for example, it will open two copies of notepad.

This will also fail in Flash CS3 because of a bug with FSCommand (and getURL). You can read about that one in my blog FSCommand and getURL Bug in Flash Player 9 (http://www.northcode.com/blog.php/2007/09/11/FSCommand-and-getURL-Bug-in-Flash-Player-9).
