YOUR EXEC COMMAND ENHANCER

What is JStart ?

Are you always asking yourself these questions about a

Flash Projector file

How can I open a PDF, Word Document Movie file, Text or any other associated files ?
How can I directly print a pdf or word document ?
Why can't I use parameters/arguments in the FSCommand, Exec ?
Can I open an application maximised ?
Can I send keyboard events once the application is open ?

With JStart, you can launch any file, and it will open up in the programme which the user has specified with that file. This means that you won't have to distribute the programme as well. As with all JTools, JStart is a very small programme and you will only have to distribute one copy as it runs on the parameters the Projector file sends it.

The FSCommand Exec of Flash allows you to run almost any programme you wish. However, that is all you can do with it. Even with the new release of Flash CS3, there is not much more power to the command. JStart enhances the power of the Exec command to its full potential allowing the execution of programmes, parameters and the opening of files with their default editors or programmes. This opens up many opportunities into the operations you can control by the Flash file.

KeyPress Scripting

This is a new powerful feature in version 2.0. Basically it allows you to send key presses to an application after it has been opened. You can send multiply key presses by adding delays before you issue your next command. So what does this exactly mean ? Well now you can

Open your pdf file and go to a certain page or even print it.
Open the browser in full screen by sending the F11 key press.

Download the following key press scripting example file and see the power behind it.

Using Arguments with JStart

The field Arguments in the Parameters section of the JStart configuration window allows you to set additional information to dictate how applications are to be executed. For example, some DOS applications must be run with an argument of a file to open.

JStart will only work with PC projector files and SWF files that use the LOADMOVIE command from a projector file.
