I am having trouble getting even a trivial example of fscommand(“exec”, “…”); to work.

I just need to open a Word .doc from within a flash exe projector. Eventually this needs to be on a cross-platform CD, but I’d be happy to see it work from the desktop of my PC at this point!

I’ve attached a really simple sample. If anyone could take a look and tell me what I’m doing wrong I’d be very grateful.

I should mention I’m using CS4, AS3, and Flash Player 10.
