Hi there

I’m working on one flash file. I have to give link to some documents which  
includes powerpoint files also. All other format files are opening normally  
in their respective applications with all the toolbars and tools . BUT the  
powerpoint files are directly coming fullscreen slide shows and not as a  
powerpoint application with toolbars and tools. When I give the link to the  
ppt, I want the file to open in the powerpoint application but not as  
fullscreen slide show.

My script looks like this:  
on(release) {  
getURL(“xxx.ppt”, 1)  
}

Any ideas how to open a source ppt file inside a powerpoint application when clicking the link given in flash?

Thanks & Regards  
Prasant
