RUN command fails

Hi All,

The follwing flash executes successfully from the command window, but gives
an error when tried through vfp8

tmp = "RUN /N3 " + filepath + "Demo\Demo.swf"
&tmp

Error message:
RUN|! command failed. An attempt was made to load a program with an
incorrect format.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

hi,

tmp = "RUN /N2 cmd /c start " + filepath + "Demo\Demo.swf"

But you should use the ShellExecute API function.

DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN SHELL32.DLL ;
INTEGER nWinHandle,STRING cOperation,STRING cFileName,;
STRING cParameters,STRING cDirectory,INTEGER nShowWindow

ShellExecute(0,"open",filepath + "Demo\Demo.swf",3)

Hi Thierry,

The RUN command is working fine.

But, I think the ShellExecute command is expecting the argument value for
STRING cParameters

What value needs to tbe passed for this argument?

Thanks.
