Open an .exe from a Flash .exe

[jstrobel]

Hello!

I am doing a project that requires a Flash file (in .exe format) to open another .exe. (in an arbitrary location). Could you please explain how this can be done? I'm new to ActionScript (my stumbling block).

Thank you!!

for using other exe files u can use FS Command Exec... right click on symbol>properties>action>FS Command>Exec (it is under pull down on the right side of action window....
On (Release)
FS Command ("Exec", "path/file.exe")
End On

Thank you! That's a simple way around my problem. I really appreciate your help!

I have tried this and every time I open the test.exe file the newss~1.exe file the button is to call on button press runs before the test.exe window comes up. this is what i have under actions for my buton.
On (Release)
FS Command ("exec", "C:\PROGRA~1\NEWSSH~1\nshark.exe")
End On

On (Release)
FS Command ("exec", "C:\PROGRA~1\NEWSSH~1\nshark.exe")
End On

Our programmer here suggested using a relative path...

/someexe.exe (the main movie)
calling deeperfolder/someotherexe.exe.
