Running exe files?

1

Hello all,

Can i run exe files from flash. Since i have some shockwave animation and since their mov compression is too large i need to know if i can run the shock wave from flash or as an alternative solution make a projecter (.exe file) and run that from flash.

thank you

thanks for the reply i did some search and found that getURL can launch an HTML fiel so i published the shockwave file and used that command to launch the shockwave from flash.

the problem now is that when i am trying the flash file using the getURL command their is no response it is giving no errors and the HTML file is not openning here is the code i associated with the button i am using:

[AS]

on (release) {
trace(“SDF”);
getURL("…/FLASH FILES/ANIM/htmlpage.html","_blank");
}

[/AS]

my swf file is found in the flash files directory and i tried this relative linking style in previous movies for loading purposes and it worked properly.

can anyone find what is wrong now.

Thanks

Try putting your flash file in the same folder as the html page you’re trying to call and adjust your script to this:[AS]on (release) {
trace(“SDF”);
getURL(“htmlpage.html”,"_blank");
}
[/AS]
