Hide DOS Command Line popup in Windows?

Hi all,

I'm using a Flash app that links to a *.bat file running a simple command line with parameters that then opens another application (VideoLAN). When I click the link, I get the typical DOS window, which stays open until I close the started app.

Is there anyway to hide this?

Thanks in advance.
 
Isn't there a way to have flash pass parameters directly to the application bypassing the batch file
altogether?
 
Unfortunately no.

"Exec" fscommand in Flash MX is severely crippled for security reasons and it does not allow passing arguments anymore. It can only open programs (applications, not specific documents in their default programs as it was possible before) which must be located in the fscommand folder on the root of projector file (no need to put this fscommand folder in the path, Flash already know it is supposed to look for it there).
Click to expand...


It would appear that some Viruses and Torjans can accomplish this "with the help of an additional utility." Anyone?

For instance with this Firkin Virus.
 
Well, I found this nice little program called RUNHIDE.EXE

but it only works with Flash 5 I believe, and we're on MX 2004.


Maybe I can put the question another way...how can I wrap *.bat -like commands into an .exe? i.e. if I just load an exe file directly, you don't see the DOS box.

It still needs to be compatible on WIn95 and up.
