    Have you tried a button with a getURL on it? Load the movie to your server, then target it:

    on (release) {
    getURL ("http://www.mysite.com/moviename.avi", "_blank")
    }

    That will launch the movie in a new window. That's the easy way. You probably want it in a popup though, and I don't know the how of doing that yet.

    If I'm not mistaken you should have a folder names fscommand and out your NON Flash files in there.

    Then, using fscommand like this:

    fscommand("exec", "fscommand/my.avi");

    I believe that's correct. Also it will only work if client computer has an app associated to the file format. Eg: If my PC hasn't Acrobat Reader, I can not launch a PDF from within Flash. Got it?
