I have a project that needs to be created in Flash MX with a Projector. It will be on a CD-ROM. I want to launch some PDFs. I have a project due in a couple of days and might have to surrender to opening up PDFs in a browser.

If you can tell me that from my main projector, when I click on a link, it can open up a new window with a pdf in it with FlashAnts then I'll get it.

Stay with me on this one. I'll be up for a while.

Thanks

FMProjector can embed PDF in Flash by using the following fscommand:

And the fscommand "fas.shell.Open" can help to open new pdf windows(pdf reader) from Flash .

How does the FlashAnts Player work? Could someone please explain it to me? If I had to guess it'd be this.

1. Create content in Flash MX.
1a. This includes the fscommands for the player as stated in the previous post.
2. Then publish only as the FlashAnts file.
3. I assume that all of the functionality of MX works.
4. Does the fscommand issue for MX create an issue for the FlashAnts player?

I need some feedback within 17 hours from now. Help!

Thanks

About Q3 and Q4
FMProjector/FMPlayer are compatiable to Flash 6 except for not support to compressed movies. We'll release a new version later to solve this.

If you have any further question, pls feel free to post here.

I am pretty sure that your product will meet my needs. But what if it doesn't, do you have a money-back guarantee?
Also is it available for download for use immediately?
And also, I don't have to rely on any browser to make this player work right?

Thanks

Flashants · 05-09-2002, 10:48 AM

Yes, we provide money back guarantee.
You may download the trial version here:

Yes, the projector doesn't depend on any browser to make it work.

What are the qualifications in order to get the educational version? Is there a way to order the educational version and to download it immediately? I just sent you guys an email.

Thanks

If you have MSN messenger we can talk through that now.

> How would I know when I have the full version. The purchase button is still on the projector. Is there a way to go to fullscreen mode without the menu?

In trial version, the function is disabled. After purchase, you will be able to export projector(exe) from the file menu.
To go to full screen mode , use the following commands in FLash actionscripts:
fscommand("FULLSCREEN","TRUE");

Okay. I got the product.

My for main .swf, I cannot open that up in the FMProjector. I can't even open up a .swf further down in the movie hierarchy. But if the .swf is at the lowest of the .swf chain, then it can be opened. Is this correct?

Is it possible for a user, who doesn't have FMProjector, to open a FMProjector file?

Maybe what I can do is create the main projector in Flash. Have this Projector do a loadmovie of the FMProjector? How am I supposed to use my main projector with FMProjector?

Reason being I have a presentation to do with a lot of pdfs to open. But I didn't want to open them up in a browser. That's why I got your product. Please help.

Thanks.

If you use Flash MX, please disable the compressed option when you export to swf file. because FMProjector 1.5 doesn't support compressed swf file yet.

1. I tried to export a file and noticed that it does not handle multiple programmed animations as well as the MM Flash Player. Is there any setting that I can set to change this?

2. Is FMProjecter1.5 for PC and Mac? How do you make it cross-platformable on a CD?

3. From the Flash 6 Player, could you call out to a FMProjector.exe to load in a movie clip in the Flash 6 Player? If so, how?

4. From the Flash 6 Player, could you call out to a FMProjector.exe to load in a separate window? If so, how?

Thank you so much.
