Problem opening external .swf

[jerilyn]

This used to work. Can't figure out what went wrong. I have a menu item set up to open an external .swf file.

The menu ID is 10005.

In Actions, the code is as follows. In the "On Menu" tab,

elseif e_ID == 10005 then
File.Open("AutoPlay\\Flash\\TrainingVideo.swf", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Problem solved. Found another suggestion on this forum and it worked. I put my .swf in a new AMS project, published as .exe then changed my code in my project to open it as an external file and it works great.

The problem might be that the system has no file association for .swf file. You might want to try:



File.OpenURL("AutoPlay\\Flash\\TrainingVideo.swf", SW_NORMAL);


This will ensure that your swf is opened in the user's default browser.
