I’m creating a flash based browser menu system. It will be distributed as an auto play cd rom. I’d like to have a button on this flash movie open the windows explorer to a certain directory (not file) on the cd to display contents of whats in that directory.

I tried using the fscommand and geturl and specify /foldername but doesnt seem to work.

Any ideas?
