LINKING TO A .HTM

[melissahopper]

Can someone tell me how to link my flash movie (.exe version) to open up a .htm file that is not published on the web - but will be burned on the same CD with the .exe file.

Thanks!

Hi friend..
that's easy.
you can link to a .htm page from whitin a text field, or you can make a button.
from a text field you make a thing similar to a normal hyperlink.
on a button you use the getURL() function, but here the url don't have to be absolute (ex: http://www.mysite.com/..).. no it has to be relative to the place of the file (.exe or .swf) for example: "about/bio.htm".. where the "about" folder is under the folder that contains your presentation.

try it.. if you have some problems don't hesitate to reply to this thread, or mail me at kingmaks@yahoo.com

beat regards..

Currently if you need to run external file,
you have to put the external exe into a subfolder
named fscommand in the main folder :
X:\..\Main.exe
X:\..\fscommand\Sub1.htm
X:\..\fscommand\Sub2.htm

then use fscommand("exec","Sub1.htm", "blank");
