I have created a flash projector movie and I have five buttons in this movie, One to open a web browser, One to execute an exe file and three that open PDF files.
I can not get flash mx to open those pdf files at all and still dont know how to get the exe to launch.
The action script im putting on the buttons is as follows.
/ Flash
on(release) {
fscommand("exec","Host.bat")
}
and for the bat file
@echo off
start HostingServices.pdf
exit
And I do not know how to launch the exe. Can someone help me please?

That did not work. Are my files in the right place? I thought about giving a more direct path to the fscommand folder. At first I did not even know I needed that folder.
Thanks for your help

-Are you loading any swfs from outside the projector that call the pdfs to open?
What I mean is the buttons that call the freeMX to open the pdfs are they inside your .fla that is the projector or are the buttons in a loaded .swf from outside the projector?
-Are you on a Mac? It won't work on a Mac.
-The Flash6 activeX must be installed. This will already be present on PCs that already can play Flash MX swfs thru their webrowser.
I am on a pc and the loader only calls itself. It is the windows projector .exe file that I published. It is a stand alone. Is that bad? I'd send you the files to look at if I could. As far as I can tell they are as they should be. When I click the button it acts like it wants to load but it does not. With the last posting I made does it look as though my files are in the right place or not?
What I am trying to do is create a cd that will autostart the flashloader.exe and the links within that to open three pdf files and one exe installer. flash 5 could do it with no problem.

Proxy is a tool I wrote that will let you run BAT files from Flash and avoid the ugly DOS box. The best part? It's absolutely FREE. You can download the utility from www.northcode.com/misc/proxy.zip. There's documentation in the ZIP file, but there was also a big disussion about it (and some other utilities I wrote) in this thread... http://www.flashkit.com/board/showth...hreadid=519274
I can not get the files to compress small enough to post here so I am not including the projector.exe file nor the freemx.exe file. this is in two parts. I did however change the actionscript to try and open using bat files.

I have acrobat 5.05 installed. I used this due to most of the possability of my customers still using Win 98. I created the pdf files in 5.0. The auto file which works opens the projector.exe file. I got it to work on another computer. Thanks again for your help.
I tried associating the pdf file types with 5.05 and it still will not work on my laptop.
