Heya all, after searching thru the forum archives on launching an external application with Flash MX, I'm still stumped. Here is what I'm trying to do:

I'm trying to launch an .exe file from a swf file (it will ultimately be a projector file on a CDROM).

The file is called "PPView97.exe", and it resides in the "fscommand" folder.

The swf file is located one folder up from the fscommand folder, and here is what the code for my button looks like:

on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "PPView97.exe");
}


I've also tried this:

on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "fscommand/PPView97.exe");
}

And neither of them seem to work.

I'm fairly experienced in Flash, and had no trouble doing this in ver.5.

Any help, ideas, or suggestions will be incredibly helpfull (so I can finally get this project out the door!).

Thanks in advance everyone!
