Opening zip files from Flash on a CD

[chuck148]

A few weeks ago I created a image download site in Flash for the web. They now want me to put it on CD. All is going well except that I can't figure out how to have a button open the zipped file like I could on the web.

I tried the getURL but couldn't get it to work.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

thanks,

try using the "exec" fscommand to open the file, it should open right up in aladdin expander.

Oh, and welcome to Flashkit!

Thanks for the welcome.

I have tried the "exec" fscommand. I can get it to work if the zipped file is in the same folder as the projector (I don't think I got it to work if I just published a swf). The problem is that I have over 100 zipped files that I'm dealing with and want to organize them with in folder(relative to the Projector). As soon as I put a file path in the argument area of the fscommand instead of just the filename it doesn't work.

Any suggestions?
