I probably sound like a total noob for posting this. But I'm desperate need here. In my game, you have the arcade modes as sub apps, but how do you make it where if someone downloads it in a zip file, and the arcade modes(sub apps) activate when you click on the name of the arcade mode? Sorry about sounding so nooby, I just need to know by the 30th.
If i understand correctly you want to open external applications as subapps?
what you need to do is open your main game, put a subapp object in the frame where you choose your different arcade games. (ie the frame you want to subapps to play in)
then on the subapp's object's properties set source to 'other application'
then in the event editor you can make the game choose which external application to load in the choose with the 'choose new application' function.
Then use an expression like Appdrive$+Appdir$+"GAMENAME.EXE"
or whatever the external app is called.
