#AAWIN.EXE & auto playing
2 messages in this thread
I want to launch AAWIN.EXE with an .AAS file, and have it begin playing
immediately. Is there a command-line parm to handle this?
I'm looking for something like…
AAWIN.EXE FOO.AAS -PLAY
I can't find any info in the online documentation…
Also, is there a way for MCI to recognize .AAS files? Or can .AAS files not be
played through MCI (does AAWIN.EXE have to interpret them?)?
I need this information as soon as possible, please.
Thanks,

Michael,
To start the AAWIN from the command line and have it start playing the script
without intervention, you add the -r to the command line.
What you might do is create an icon for this by copying the icon for the
Windows player. You can alter the property and choose the second icon (a green
walking man) from AAWIN.EXE, to help you distinguish a script from the player.
Then you would edit the command line like:
AAWIN.EXE FOO.AAS -R
I can't see any documentation which shows you how to make an MCI call to load a
script (MCIDOK in the file MCIAAP.ZIP on this forum). Since you have the
Windows player, and have commented that you've already looked at help, make
sure you've seen how to load a script from the AAPLAY.DLL. (It's the AAGETFILE
entry.)
