    How do I open a CD for Browsing from a Flash EXE?

    I'm putting together an extremely simple CD for a client. What I want to do is when they insert the CD I want my Flash standalone to popup (no prob here-I'll use autorun). Then when they click a button on the Flash I want to exit Flash and open the CD for browsing.

    What I'm not clear on is how to open the CD for browsing. Can this be done?

    drv = _url.substr(8,1);
    geturl(drv + ":");

    drv is the drive letter of the CD or drive where the projector was started from

    NorthCode-thank you very much. you truly rock. I was fooling around with two or three complex ways to do this and none of them was acceptable. I dropped your two little lines of code into my FLA and...problem solved. thanks again for being so helpful.
