I have a couple of video files and a Flash presentation that I plan to distribute on CD-Rom. Usually, I use the getUrl() command to open the video file links in the user’s default browser. But I’d like to know if there is a command available to open the video file in the player itself (e.g. Quicktime player) and not in the browser?
