Omar, fscommmand exec only works from with a projector i.e. not AIR in addition to this AIR will print exactly as any other AS3 application prints so if the AS3 print library allows you to do what you want then you can do it in AIR if not, then you cant.
I have to agree with Steven on this too if security isnt to much of an issue then use Zinc etc... One other benefit over other wrappers steve is that it's a one off install for the run time and there after you just all AIR apps will work, whereas with all the other wrappers I've tried the wrapper has bundled into every app install. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Sacks Sent: 02 January 2008 06:25 To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Executing external ,exe witn AIR If you're having trouble with Adobe's beta wrapper, you should go with one of the other wrappers. Because AIR is a wrapper that is being pushed by a major company (Adobe) and because they've been marketing it heavily, and because they want it to be widely used and they want people to feel safe installing AIR applications, AIR cannot have the level of power that other wrappers have when it comes to accessing the operating system. The fact is, with any other Flash wrapper, you can do some truly nefarious things. Heck, you could probably achieve some nasty stuff with AIR as it is right now. The only true benefits I see in AIR over other wrappers are: 1) Unified cross-platform development 2) First-Party Wrapper (Adobe) That's it. If neither of those is important to your particular project, you probably are better off using mProjector or Zinc.
