I Still need help with a software start screen for a software CD

1

Hello,

I try the URL command but it still did’nt work…

I’m making a software start screen for a software CD, when it’s done it needs to be an exec File. I know how to do that, here is where my problem is, the buttons need to link to exe files – (example when you install for the first time any Macromedia Software first the exec file pop up then the buttons link to the exe software files.) That’s what I need my buttons to do. I try this on (release) {
fscommand(“cobra patch.exe”);
}
but nothing happen! Where dose the file need to be for the link to work?

Also do they need to be buttons or could they be a movie clip??? Here is the name of one of the files cobra patch.exe Please give me an example on how the command would look like. Thank you so much for your time and help.
:ear:

i think you have to make a fscommand folder and insert your exe files in there check out more info here

by that reckoning you will need to have “cobra patch.exe” in the fscommand directory. It changed in flashMX. You should probably also look at removing the spaces in file names as some operating systems don’t like this. Use an underscore or CamelCase naming.

they don’t need to be buttons either. they can be movieclips.

MX04 has some nice “how to” items in the help file also.
