Flash Not Launching Pps File On A Mac

[dzinehaus]

I am trying tot use the fscommand to launch a powerpoint file from a flash projector file and it does not seem to want to take the fscommand.

I have

fscommand("exec", "powerpoint.pps");

and have tried

fscommand("exec", ":fscommand:powerpoint.pps");

still with no luck....

I am thinking of just using the getURL command but this opens a nasty Internet Explorer or Safari Window and only goes to the directory of the file it doesnt open the actual file.

Can anyone help.

I tried the FAQ in this section and it doesnt work for me.

Did you try using the applescript in the faq?
