Hello all. I am a beginner in action script, and recently faced a problem… Is there any way to call up local .exe files using AS 1.0/2.0…?

To explain the big idea… well I’m a customization geek and trying to make a flash-button-shortcut thing for Talisman II (wich it supports). Even more… since I discovered The support of flash objects in Talisman II, I was thiking about creating a flash object, containing some shortcuts and resembling the behavior of OSX dock. I’ve figured out a number of ways to make animation stuff, but stuck with the shortcut-behavior itself (it has to launch some apps - right? 🙂 )

Thanks in advance…
