hi all,
I’ve been searching for a way to launch an external movie file (preferably a .avi) from a button inside of flash mx 2004. I am trying to get it so a new window (seperate from the .swf or .exe that the flash is in) pops up and plays the .avi in the user’s default player, whatever that may be.
I have tried the fscommand, which works great for launching another .exe, but does nothing for other files. I have also tried getURL, but that just opens a new default browser window.
does anyone have any suggestions? any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
thanks so much,
emily
