Of course, that’s only one of many bugs with the commands menu. For instance, it appears to support submenus by adding subfolders to the commands folder, but good luck having the menu cork correctly after that. And even more good luck getting keyboard shortcuts to work correctly on any command in a subfolder.

Then there’s the fact that if you have a command with a name that’s also the beginning of another command (for instance, one called “blah” and the other called “blah squish”), sometimes Flash will call the “blah” one when you hit the keyboard shortcut for “blah squish”.

Anyway, I’ve learned to live with these limitations, hoping beyond reason that they’ll fix the bugs in the next version. I’m almost always disappointed when the next version comes out, though, containing all the same bugs I’ve been annoyed with for years.

How would you get that information from the user? I don’t believe JSFL has access to the operating system’s login info.

has been happening ever since I set up custom shortcuts on my CPU since Flash 8 (i believe)

Pretty sure its a fairly common bug. I still haven’t found a way to fix it, other to revert to default & make new shortcuts every time.

I did the changes you told me to do above & it works. But it only works with shortcuts if I first open the pull down meny for commands & close it without using it & then use the shortcuts – otherwise I get a message:
An error ocurred opening file”
It doesn’t say which file – it just stops like that…
