I’ve built my flash desktop, animated and such… only problem is that I haven’t figured out how to link to installed programs like an icon does instead of browser locked items such as websites.

For Example, interactive button says Notepad, I want notepad to open when I click it. Don’t know too much about action scripting yet so I’m sure there’s something in there someplace I can use. Already tried on (release) getURL.

Anyone know what to do on this one?  
Thank you
