Hi realised id replied to a post in Flash 5 rather than the mx section.

I have a cd with an exe on. I wnated to have an html page where you click the logo (emmbedded flash) to launch the exe.

You cant use FScommand with a .swf?

Get url means the user has to choose to download or run the exe.

is there anyway to run the .exe straight from the embedded flash or using html/js?

👁

any help appreciated.
