Opening and Closing flash MX

[edie209]

Hi I have just recently found AutoIT.

I am trying to achieve somthing very simple I think.

I have a site licence for Macromedia MX of which I install Via RunOnceEx that all woks really well ut the only problem is that FLash MX needs to be opened once with admin rights.

So I created a AutoIT script using SciTe ScriptWriter to open and close flash and then compiled it into an exe this works fine when I run the script on a PC when I run it from RunOnceEx it freezes half way through flash will open but It will not go any further.

I have tried using Alt F4 and Ctrl Q to close but have had no luck. Could someone please point me in the right direction and tell me what I am doing wrong.

difficult to help you without the script you are using.

Sorry about that, here is the code I have last tried using Ctrl Q to close Flash MX

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
Run('C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\Flash.exe')
WinWait("Macromedia Flash MX 2004","")
If Not WinActive("Macromedia Flash MX 2004","") Then WinActivate("Macromedia Flash MX 2004","")
WinWaitActive("Macromedia Flash MX 2004","")
Send("{CTRLDOWN}q")

Send("{CTRLDOWN}q")
oÝ÷ Ø*.ÖÞjëh×6
Winkill("Macromedia Flash MX 2004","")

In fact no when the session is not really started.

Send need the session to be active

WinKill does not

Sorry, JPM wrong choice of words in that syntax

Indeed, winkill just closes the window and send needs to be on an active window..
