Greetings all -
I am reposting on this forum as a new thread - the original is over here:
http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=14844&page=6&pp=15
Ok - my sitch as it stands....
1 = I'm producing an interactive catalog in Flash (mx04) to be distributed on CD
2 = going to use the Flash projector method sos'n i dont haff to rely on the users browser
3 = am calling up multiple PDFs via fscommand ("exec", "somedamnfile.bat").
4 = the .bat file calls the PDF and life is good...
5 = got it working squeaky clean on PC (did I mention my production platform is PC?)
6 = now for the MAC mayhem... (we have a g4 "testing" mac with OSX)
7 = using MacImage to create a hybrid .ISO of the .exe and the .hqx projectors (which works fine...)
At this point - I screwed arround with the fscommand/applescript method for some time - and never could call the .scpt file from the MAC projector. It did work, however, when I saved the applescript as an APPLICATION and used fscommand to call it as such. Other than that - DiDi's original applescript works perfectly.
Problem occurs when I try and port the .app file from Mac back to PC (for burning purposes). It appears that just entering the PC format totally ****s the mac file - because when I burn the 100% functional .iso to disk (from the pc) the .app file no longer functions. I can then copy all the files from the cd (that i just burned) to the mac desktop - and rewrite the .app file, replace it - and the sucker works again.
Ideally - I would store all the .bat files and (MAC derived).app files in the fscommand folder, along with the PDF folder and the .exe and .hqx on my PC, compile and burn the .iso and be off and running - - but no go.
SOOOOO -
What am I missing??
It appears that the problem lies with the .app file corruption once its been ported to PC.
Is there a way to maintain the proper unix file structure when doing this??
I would appreciate any good thoughts on the subject...
And, yes - I could dump all the pc files over to the Mac for hybrid disk creation - but I dont have a burner on the mac - so I am trying to avoid that sollution...
