Opening external files via flashMX (for an MX interface on CD ROM)

1

Hello all, wondering if you can give me a hand;
I am constructing my portfolio on CD ROM;
On the ROM I have various formatted files (such as Acrobat, Quicktime and Powerpoint) that I would like to access via my simple Flash MX interface.
As I can’t pull all of these into my swf, is there any ActionScript for my interface that can let me access these files?
your help is greatly appreciated
Cheers,

PS - I’m working through Mac OSX, if that makes a profound difference :slight_smile:

Write a small batch file to open them.

Use the exec command to execute the batch file.

Use the attached zip file to see what I mean.

You can open that batch file in notepad to see how it works.

Use this AS code on your button

on (release) {
fscommand (“exec”, “yourbatchfile.bat”);
}
