I’ve got a problem. I made this little menu (with Flash MX) for my Norton programs. I want to put all 3 of them on one cd (autorun).  
When the cd starts up it will show this menu…

[http://www.geocities.com/earthworm\_jimmy\_nr1/Norton\_2003\_Menu.swf](http://www.geocities.com/earthworm_jimmy_nr1/Norton_2003_Menu.swf)

When i click on one of the 3 “Install” Buttons it has to start up the installation proces (Setup.exe) that can be found in a sub directory.

Everything works perfectly…except the 3 buttons I made to start up the installation. ☹  
The main problem is that i’m not sure what kind of a script i have to use.

I did find this tutorial:  
[http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/beginner/Launch\_Applications\_using\_Flash/index.shtml](http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/beginner/Launch_Applications_using_Flash/index.shtml)

But it didn’t work for me.

I also tried to find info at the macromedia site but that didn’t work eiter.

All i need to know is how i can start the Setup.exe files when i click on the “Install” button.

Please help me ☹

```php
on (press) {
	fscommand("exec", "pathTo/setup.exe");
}

```

That should work 🙂

Your links above are truncated. Please include the full link for us to check them out. 🙂

About your question, look into the FSCommand function. I believe it allows you to execute, well, executables. 🙂
