launching a .exe file from flash???

[lunarfx]

Is it possible (and how) to execute an .exe file from flash?

[lunarfx]

I have been trying to use the

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

but it doesn't launch the file for some reason. Any suggestions?

Did you ever find an answer to your .exe question? I'm trying to do the exact same thing and I know that the fscommand won't work?

Are you asking from a WEB BASED movie?.. or from a CD?

You can NOT do this from the web..but from a CD rom (or locally) you can.

I cant remember exactly when this changed but all .exe files need to be in a folder called fscommand as well (not sure if this holds true with MX or after)
