[F8] Run programs with AS
Hi there,
I don't know if what I'm trying to do is possible with AS, so if not just tell me (then I can stop searching and start learning, cause this is really starting to annoy me)!
I've been told by friends that my desktop is over populated by icons. And since I've been working with them fancy carousel menu's I thought "hey, why not try to run my programs through an SWF? Then I can replace all my icons with just one SWF (and a folder containing XML's and icons etc.)!".
The carousel part is working great, the icons are made and their names and linkage are loaded with XML files, but there seems to be a problem with the linking.
I tried to use the getURL, but this gave me errors and always opened a new webpage (which I don't want).
So now the question for you is: can I run programs the way the icons open them (with a direct link to the .exe)?
Thanks in advance!

this should work, but its proper nasty:
Code:
getURL("Absolute Path to exe file");

That doesn't work
The link is loaded through XML and brought up in the getURL(); but when I click it I just get a blanc browser window.
I'm going to check the codes again, but so far this didn't work.

hmm yeah actually that was a stupid suggestion.
you might be able to fudge it useing fscommand(); but i doubt it. flash just wasnt made for this kind of thing.
