passing an argument

[ZenLunatic]

I'm trying to pass an argument to flashplayer using file.run. here's what I have:

File.Run("AutoPlay\\SAFlashPlayer.exe", "AutoPlay\\finished\\IPM - Overview\\playershell.swf", "", SW_MAXIMIZE, false);

The application launches, but it doesn't load the file. Any ideas?

PS: My previous user registration, Pharmakon, is gone! What happened?!

I'd tack on a _SourceFolder to the beginning of the passed arguement. That way you're passing a complete path. Though I haven't tried it to see if it works.

File.Run("AutoPlay\\SAFlashPlayer.exe", _SourceFolder .. "\\AutoPlay\\finished\\IPM - Overview\\playershell.swf", "", SW_MAXIMIZE, false);

Let me know if that does what you want it to.

Yes! I'm a god! Whoo hooo!!!

Gaye Delorme ("It's Hard to be Humble", "Earache my Eye", etc.) used to introduce his Conga drummer "Enrique" at shows as "The Polynesian Love God". Enrique loved that, he beamed with pride every single time Gaye said it. He would always release a quick bongo flurry to punctuate it and then glance out wistfully at any female audience members within glancing range. :yes

Ha! Ha! Seriously.

I had zero luck finding out how to pass arguments... then I read it's because of security that there are no arguments that can be passed to that particular .exe.

But then... here comes Desmond with a "from the slow lane in heavy traffic, who then cuts over into the fast lane and guns it" right pass that obstacle!

:yes
