Question

Reload whole movie as projector

This is similar to a question I had asked before ( Here). I was wondering if there is a way to reload a projector, specifically an .exe. Will I have to keep the .swf with the .exe and have it load in the .swf every time?

p.s. The reason why I need it in .exe format is because I'm using a third party add-on that allows for some file/directory modification functions.

You can unload the MovieClipin the exe containing the external swf as you suggested.

Also loading another swf into the MovieClip unloads the swf. So you could load a "session ended" clip if you wanted or a blank swf.

RE: MotionMaker

so, I would have to keep the .swf with the .exe and still unload/load like normal. This would then give me the same result?

mProjector is pretty much your only solid choice for X-platform.

You can pretty easily build and installer with mProjector inclding
shortcuts and the programming you do in Flash will work on Mac and
windows

check this sample page at the top right there is an example including
an fla that is an installer built in flash that installs our famous red
rubber ball app

for windows if really want to get into the nuts and bolts we have an
mRegistry class

and here is the createShorcut command

I think you need to tell us what you mean by unload - do you mean quit
and restart, or unload some content. What is the goal you are trying to
achieve?

I think I need to further clairify, the difference here is that I am using a published .exe file, not a swf file.

The projector becomes a shell and the content etc that needs reloading is a swf called by the exe.

Break the Flash files in SWF files and use loadmovie and unloadmovie

my question is: how do I completely unload the projector and reload it again, without having to physically close out of the program, then load it again. I want it to reload itself on its own (through actionscript)

I'm not sure I understand you question, but mProjector (my favorite 3rd
party app maker) wraps you swf up inside the exe along with any other
external files. And as a bonus it encrypts them too..
