Ultimate Flash Directory

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. 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 MX, 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.

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