View Full Version : Launching Word file from projector not working!

Howdy,

Have a projector file with numerous links to files in the fscommand folder. Using a FlashGeek hack that:
1. Uses fscommand to link to a .exe file, with the same name as;
2. A text file, with the name of the .pdf or .html or .ppt file in the first line;
3. Then it goes to that file and opens it.

But not for a Word file!
All other types are fine.

If I double click the .exe file directly, it opens the correct file, but when I click on the button in the projector file that points to the .exe it fails.

Word tells me that the file can not be found.
The .exe is doing its job correctly, but when the instruction comes from projector, it adds a '\\?\' to the beginning of the directory path. Any ideas?

Seems very strange when every other file (and there are a few) keeps failing.

Thanks in advance!

EXTRA INFO:

Appears to be a version issue. Original build was in CS3, but test the same logic with the same files in v8 and it worked.

Adobe must be pushing some extra info or changed the way fscommand works a little

Are there any functions in this FlashGeek hack you are using to determine the path of the running flash app? As there would be if you were using MDM Zinc for example.
