Hey there people! I have a slight problem. I’m working on a resume on cd. And want to display some of my flash animations. But I can’t figure out a way to show the animations from within my flash presentation. I tried to use the fscommand, but for some reason it just doesn’t work! i convert the file to exe and my other animations are exe also. but when i click on the link, it doesn’t work! I also tried the loadmovie command. but that didn’t work neither! I’m guessing there’s something i missed out, but i can’t figure out what. Could somebody please show me what to do because i have to finish this by friday 16th may. Thanks. ---

as far as I know you can’t load exes with loadMovie, try publishing your animations as swf’s and then you should be able to load them with loadMovie hope this helps ---

actually i used the loadMovie command using swf’s but it didn’t load. although i’ve used this command before. i’m totally baffled as to why it’s not working! ---

hmm… have you used the correct path to the movies in your code? I can’t really do anything but make guesses unless you post more info ---

How do you expect anyone to tell you what’s wrong if we don’t know/see how you set it up/coded it?! ---

on (release) { fscommand(“exec”, “andy.exe”); } that’s the code i used. but it still doesn’t load the file. i changed the file to .exe and put it in the same folder. i don’t know why it’s not working. ---

Hey guys i found the problem! In Flash MX you have to put the exe files in a folder called fscommand. it’s a new security precaution to prevent misuse of the fscommand. PHEW! finally now i can finish my work! ---

Glad you figured it out. For future reference, you can load .swf files into a project file using loadMovie(), I have never had issues with that. I don’t know what was up with yours though. ---
