Hmm… is there any possibility to call an EXE program, BAT or VBS script from flash? I know that it can be done with FScommand in a flash Projector but, what about a normal flash page? What i want to do is, to create a flash desktop for my pc and add buttons which can run programs (like notepad.exe etc)

Any help would be appreciated 🙂
