Making a new test movie script

[clinch]

Hi.
I am just diving into JSFL for the first time. I'm trying to make a new "test movie" script that will allow me to export an swf and run it, very similar to how the normal "Test Movie" runs when I hit CTRL+Enter..

However, I would like to use exportSWF, so I can override the location that the SWF gets published to, regardless of what is configured in the FLA file.

So essentially, I would like to have the following:


fl.getDocumentDOM().exportSWF(path);
codeToLaunchSWF(path);


However, I've searched and can't find the "codeToLaunchSWF". Can some one tell me how to achieve this?

Please and thank you. I know there aren't many JSFL programmers out there, so I'm grateful for your help.

this will do the trick

FLfile.runCommandLine("c:/ads.swf");

where i got this information

note that this will leave open a batch command window

An alternative would be to load in publish settings specifying the output directory, then call testMovie().

That didn't work for me. I also checked the documentation in Flash 8 and do not see a method called "runCommandLine" in the FLfile class.

I will try the method of overwriting the publish settings.

FileSystem.executeDocument() will do the trick.

It opens the specified file with its
associated application.

You can find the documentation here:

Enjoy.
