Ok, I've downloaded the script for Launching a DVD game called LaunchDVDGame.xas - Now here's the strange part. When I run it it works like a charm BUT is does this "ERROR (line 1): (callfile) "ActionScript file failed execution" What's even stranger is that the script still continues to run and launches the DVD just fine. I'm just wondering if there's a way I can get rid of that damn error or maybe it's something with the code?

Here's the code for the one i'm using.

One more thing - Eventhough it does launch it doesn't display the Now launching screen which is coded in the script.

-Jameson

ERROR (line 1): (callfile) "ActionScript file failed execution"

This just means that there's an error in the script being called from the <action> tag. I.e. doesn't show error messages for scripts called from within scripts.

The new version of MXM fixes this and displays the proper error message. So then you can figure out what the real problem is.

As for the messagebox not working:

CODE

BeginDraw UseCurrent   MessageBox "Checking Disk Status. Please Wait..." EndDraw

Works

CODE

MessageBox "%DVDTitle% Now Launching..."

Doesn't, because it doesn't have a "BeginDraw UseCurrent" and "EndDraw" in it.
You will probably also have to add a

CODE

Delay 2

After the enddraw statement so it shows the messgebox for a while.

Can someone send me the newest version so i can work on it? - I'm a bit rusty at compiliing the binarys.

HEEE HEEE....

I doubt it... LOL...

geniusalz was, I believe, talking about the latest WIP release, which are only available to a select few.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh, Didn't know it was select. My bad - Well if anyone can help me with that script it'd be appreciated. Just wanna get rid of that damn error.

-Jameson

Well, yeah, yourwishismine is right. The new version is not out yet. The WIP is just a work in progress, with features being implemented and tested. Then it is released publicly.

Oh ok, well I guess i'll have to wait for the new release to fix that error then. Or just go insane trying to do it myself.

-Jameson

Don't know what could be causing the error; and can't check coz bro is on the xbox.

You might wanna contact dbzracer

Just wanted to let you know that I wasn't laughing at you.. but that question comes up so much.. it's just funny anymore... also... asking for binaries in the forums is a NO NO... Sorry.. if it makes you feel better... I don't get the WIP releases either... LOL.. so I'm in the same boat...


I'd say your problem lies right in this last little bit of code:

CODE

:LaunchDisk SETFUNC DVDTitle XBETITLE D:default.xbe MessageBox "%DVDTitle% Now Launching..." LaunchDVD QUIT

Well if either one of you have some spare time could you take a look at that script? I got all the message delays fixed but it still give me that error right after the "Now Launching..." message.

read above

I found it - It wasn't the code - The problem lies in the LaunchDVD function - 'cause if you replace the LaunchDVD function with

EXEC D:Default.xbe the script launches without a hitch. I guess I could tell BJ about that so it can be fixed.

Well that's strange..

I have 3 other Launch DVD scripts written by 3 different people.. and they all seem to use the LaunchDVD and I know at least 2 of them work fine...

Hmm...Very Strange - 'cause like I stated before - After I replaced it with EXEC it worked perfect without an error.

-Jameson

i was just about to reply with the same thing.

the command is implented, but for some reason it throws an error and still continues.

the error it throws is "command not implemented"

maybe BJ needs to update an internal list of valid commands or something.

ok guys, i have the exact same problem, but im really new to action scripting, can you just point me out where i have to modify this string so the error msg go away?

Thanks its realy appreciated!

Suppose you are using this:
<Action>
Callfile c:blah.xas
</Action>

Whenever any error occurs in blah.xas, you will get the message "error (line 1): (callfile) "actionscript File failed execution"
You don't see the proper error message.
The solution to get the proper error message would be to put the whole script inside the <Action> tag in your menu.xml

The next version of MXM fixes this annoyance, and reports proper error messages even for scripts in files.

The issue being discussed here was that the launchDVD command always throws an error message. So if you have a launchDVD command in your script, change it to EXEC D:Default.xbe

ok this is exactly my problem, but where do i put the EXEC D:DEFAULT.XBE
??

Is it in here:

QUOTE

:LaunchDisk SETFUNC DVDTitle XBETITLE D:default.xbe MessageBox "%DVDTitle% Now Launching..." LaunchDVD QUIT

Because if its there that i have to change something, ive already tried it and i still get the error msg while still launching the DVD...

Based on what geniusalz just said...

I'd say you want it to look like this:

CODE

:LaunchDisk SETFUNC DVDTitle XBETITLE D:\default.xbe MessageBox "%DVDTitle% Now Launching..." EXEC D:\DEFAULT.XBE QUIT

ho i see!!
I had tried to change

QUOTE

SETFUNC DVDTitle XBETITLE D:default.xbe

instead of launchDVD, it should works, if it doesnt, ill wait until the newxt verison of mxm

Thanks!
