Hi Guys.

I’m currently designing a flash web site for local viewing with animations and the like. This is being activated via the “active desktop” in display properties.

I forgot how to point flash to open local exe files. ie PS or flash or whatever…

Can anyone remember how to do this??

Also, is it possible to have a flash made task bar that sits “on top” of everything else? This would really start some creative options for me if it is.

Thanks.

um… you mean like:

```auto
getURL("file://C:\Program Files\Macromedia\FlashMX\Flash.exe");

```
