I am busy updating a Flash application from a previous developer, but it was written for Windows. I am busy developing on Mac and there is this segment of code:
_global.localSO = SharedObject.getLocal("personalCookie", "/");
_global.localSO.data.name = textFileContent;
_global.localSO.flush();
fscommand("exec", "fscommand/save_personal.exe");
What it basically does is the following:
save_personal.exe
save_personal.exe
calls another fl_save_personal.swf
inside the .exe filefl_save_personal.swf
retrieves the session variables and passes them to the save_personal.exe
save_personal.exe
writes this variable to a text file personal.txt
(as it gets it with no other calculations on the variable itself)Now, my real question is the following, can this save_personal.exe
execute on a Mac at all (by means of the original Flash app calling it, in this case myApplication.app
), or must I publish the Director file as save_personal.app
also in order to test the file creation?
.EXE on MAC? NO! only if you use Wine for darwin :)
i think that this can help too: board[dot]flashkit[dot]com/board/showthread.php?t=140971
