Ok, I’m having a problem with starting executables with Flash. I want this on a USB stick so I can execute programs, games and all kinds of stuff I’m gonna store on it. I’ve run into problems though. I don’t know how to 😉

I’ve tried FSCOMMAND, but no, it doesn’t work. No “but n00b uu cnat strat from sevrer!” or “swf cnat strat exe flies y00 n00b” because I know that.

```auto
fscommand("exec","../test.exe");

```

Tried this, on my machine, as a projector .exe file, in the same folder as the test.exe which is not a different projector file btw. This, did not work.

```auto
 fscommand("EXEC","c:\windows
otepad.exe");

```

This doesn’t work either

If you’re gonna ask “but waht hapens den?” then I’ll asnwer that right now - nothing happens! I click my button but nothing happens at all. Not even a message telling me how stupid I am trying this.

And yes, I did search! No help there, that’s why I posted this topic.
