(very urgent)fscommand help

[dalton721]

ok im makign a portfolio cd and im using flash mx features
i have two other files that are exe's outside of the flash portfolio.

i want to make the buttons to load these up work right...but they refuse to work.

it only works when im using a flash 4 player..but theres no way i can go that low because of the embedded videos and some of the coding.

there is a possiblity i could use loadmovie
but i can't get them to be centered right...

HELPP!!!! heres the code for one of my buttons

on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "beau.exe");
gotoAndPlay("end");
}

ok loadmovie is off the list...

when try and use loadmovie it load ok but it shows everything the flash canvas is supposed to cut off and since that particular movie doesn' t have a defined background it plays kinda transparent.


argh this is so horrible.

its there any way flash 6 can proform a exec command correctly to other flash 6.exe files

Where do you have your external exe files? MX requires them to be located in a subfolder called fscommand.

d:mainFile.exe
d:fscommand\beau.exe

then from flash you should be able to start it with:

fscommand("exec", "beau.exe");
