Any way to pass arguments to projectors from Windows command line?

[matt_s webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hello,

I'd like to pass variables/arguments to a projector from the Windows command line, just like with the externalParamName() and externalParamValue() functions, but which as we all know only work in a browser. Is this possible? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Matt

"the commandLine" doesn't appear to be a valid property in Director 8.5. Should I be aware of something that I'm missing? Thanks,

Matt

It is undocumented, but it is valid. It simply contains whatever text is
entered on the command line. For example, if your projector is called
proj.exe, and you open:

"c:\prog\proj.exe" "somefile.dat" /p

Then the commandLine will contain:

"somefile.dat" /p
