Exit application button

[Geoffh]

Hi there
Need some help. I know this should work but can,t figure out what I'm doing wrong. I am stumped. Anyone recognize what's up.

I created my animated text menu's in Swish, exported as a Flash file and imported to AMS 4. I added a text button in Swish to allow users to exit the presentation and close the Autoplay window. I assigned an FSCommand "EXIT".

in AMS4 the commands I added:

%Property% = FlashObject(Flash1).Get Property(Last FSCommand"

IF (%FSCommand% = "exit")
Aoolication exit
WAV stop
END IF

the problem is the animation graphics stop but the window stays open and the WAV continues playing.

Thanks in advance
Geoff

Re: Exit application button

Looks like you used "EXIT" in swish and "exit" in AMS. try making them both the same case type, i.e. uppercase or lowercase, but not both...

Thanks for your reply Corey.

I've got "EXIT" in upper case in the Swish FSCommand and the AMS side. It was just in my email message that I had them different (Upper and lower case)

It seems like the command "Application Exit" is stopping the Flash object from playing but the AMS application stays open! with the background displayed. I end up having to terminate the AMS preview application using Task Manager.

hope this extra info helps.

Re: Exit application button

You have

IF (%FSCommand% = "exit")

But it should be

IF (%Property% = "exit")

That's all...

Re: Exit application button

That's it!! I was just looking at a knowledge base article too. Where it said I should use the following first:

%FSCommand% = FlashObject(Flash1).Get Property (Last FSCommand)


I had Property in between the % signs.

Great Thanks
