ssCore.Layout.loadFile

[marcothedwarf]

Hello, I've a problem with the function "ssCore.Layout.loadFile"

I've a button with that code :

on (release){
        var return_obj = ssCore.Layout.loadFile({resource:"batch.exe"});
	ssCore.Shell.execute(return_obj.result);
	ssCore.App.quit();
}

When I click on that button, the file batch.exe is not loaded and executed, I don't understand how that function works.
I've had the batch.exe file in the Resources like that :

[-] Layout
|__ [+] batch.exe


Movie Tab : "use the auto-extract folder"

I think the problem comes from "resource:"batch.exe"" or/and "return_obj.result"... ?

Thanks for your help.


Ps : sorry for my bad english

You´re quite off the track here.
If you want to simply execute the exe this will be enough,
if you have set the file to auto-extract on the Layout tab

on (release){
    ssCore.Shell.execute({path:"tempdir://batch.exe"});
}

no need to load anything. Read the docs on the methods to get to know what they do.

Thank for your reply

ssCore.Shell.execute({path:"tempdir://batch.exe"});

don't works so I've tried :

ssCore.Shell.execute({path:ssGlobals.ssTempDir + "\\batch.exe"});

That works only if "batch.exe" is in the same directory, it's not extract in the TempDir...

When you add files to the Files Tab they are marked as "auto extract" (to the temp folder) by default. If you change them to "no auto extract" then you have to extract the file manually before you can use Shell.execute on it.
