Hello!,

TW can publish too as .exe.

I hope a .exe standalone that run an any PC under Windows OS.

But in PC without Flash Player instaled get the alert:

"To view tour properly, Flash Player 9.0.28 or later version is need. Please download the latest version of Flash player and install it on your computer"

How to make a true Standalone .exe?

Thanks!!

Hello,

Thanks Madmux,

My .EXE file was necesary for the following:

1) When starts my project (.exe) if  I press CTR+F (fullscreen) the initial movie continue, no stop as .SWF file.

2) To avoid the FlashPlayer Menu that isn't important for the user.

Then I need:

- Start in fullscreen the .SWF file

- No flashplayer Menu as (File, View, Control, Help)

- Any standalone file that runs the Panorama (.SWF) for example a Flash Projector (by the way is it disable in flashplayer Menu).

My target is the CD / DVD, no WEB.

Thanks,

Fernando.

Thanks Madmux,

1) For me is OK the TW generated .exe

2) No problem for include the Flash Player in CD/DVD

but

Which FlashPlayer?

(I installed the "install_flash_player_10_active_x" in other PC and don't work the TW .exe)

The Adobe link isn't enable for my country.

Please if you have any FlashPlayer that it solve the problem, please send me my personal mail (fernolo@gmail.com) (of course only if that FlashPlayer is free)

Thanks!

Fernando

You want Flash Player "Standalone"

See official Adobe webpage http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

You want the last download in the list for your operating system. I.E: the Windows version is listed as Download the Windows Flash Player 10.3 Projector (EXE, 5.51MB)

Now, Flash Standalone doesn't install, you must place a copy in a directory that will not be deleted. I personally place a copy in my Program Files>Adobe (folder).

You "can" make Flash Standalone the "default" Flash player by Right Clicking on a .swf file and choosing

Properties>Opens With: (Change)>Browse to the location of Flash Standalone (I.E: Within Program Files>Adobe) and selecting the Flash.exe file>Click OK>Apply/OK.

ActiveX versions are "browser" plug-ins. The browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari etc) shouldn't be your default Flash player. That's like having all your image formats default opening with a browser! It's hardly to the best way to preview your .jpg's and the same with .swf

All that said, the .exe file is just that, a fully functioning executable file. You should NOT need any form of Flash installed. The Flash player should extract to a temporary directory so you can display the Flash content.

Just like building a "Projector" file using Flash Standalone. Where you take a self contained .swf file (Tourweaver can produce these) and you open it with Flash Standalone and then go to File>Create Projector

This makes a copy of the .swf file and combines it with the Flash Player to make an self contained .exe file.

Thanks Madmux & Smooth!

Smoth, you said:

"...and you open it with Flash Standalone and then go to File>Create Projector..."

But my FlashPlayer isnt enable the option "Create projector"

My solution is that you send me a Flashplayer with this option enable. Please if you can, test first with any .SWF to check that option is really enable with any .SWF Tourweaver generated.

My mail is fernolo@gmail.com I tried the link www.arzinai.lt/xchange/ (Madmux sugestion) but no work the "Create projector" It is gray: disable.

Thanks!!

Fernando.

Easypano must have changed the permissions within the .swf files output by Tourweaver as the "Create Projector" option in Flash Standalone is Grayed out as you mentioned. (This is NOT the case with most .swf files). So this leaves you with Tourweaver .exe output option which "should" run without any requirement for Flash being installed either ActiveX or Standalone. That is the sole purpose of creating the .exe file, though I wouldn't recommend this run from a CD. It should be moved to a local drive first.

Of course all files must be installed on the computer for viewing, but with the .exe version it should extract these files required to a temporary folder.

Thanks Smooth,

Yes, the most .SWF allow creating Projector with my FlashPlayer installed. The TW SWF is protected to make as Projector. Too bad.
