the only way i know is using a .bat file…

open notepad to create the .bat files.

to open the calculator:

```auto
@ echo off
start %SystemRoot%\system32\calc.exe
exit

```

and save it as **calculator.bat**

to open the notepad:

```auto
@ echo off
start %SystemRoot%\system32
otepad.exe
exit

```

and save it as **notepad.bat**

and put both .bat files in a folder called **fscommand**.

finally, here’s the script for the buttons in flash:

```auto
notepadButton.onRelease = function() {
fscommand("exec", "notepad.bat");
};
calculatorButton.onRelease = function() {
fscommand("exec", "calculator.bat");
};

```

**note.** this will only work in projectors.

any questions? =)

hi kax:  
I already solved the prev problem, but it still not working.  
Actually, where should I put the ‘fscommand’ folder? And the path: ‘start %SystemRoot%\system32  
otepad.exe’ in the ‘bat’ file, should it be ‘start %SystemRoot%\WINDOWS  
otepad.exe’?

Thanks everyone for the helps.

well, if the path i gave you doesn’t work… use the correct path in your system.

%SystemRoot%\system32  
otepad.exe works fine in mine.

and yeah… you could have replied to your previous thread. :-\

Hi everyone:  
First, I like to thanks to kax and everyone for the helps. The command is working fine now. I just wondering is it any other ways to open notepad and calculator beside ‘fscommand’ ? (I can directly access the notepad and calculator without create the folder ‘fscommand’ and ‘.bat’ files.)

Thanks

basically a projector is the .swf in .exe format. go to file\>publish settings and check windows projector in the formats tab. then click on publish.

**note.** you don’t need the flash player installed in order to run a projector.

and i don’t know if there’s a way to run the application in .swf format. i haven’t tried it.
