I’m trying to create a CD installer screen using flash projector, and I want a button when clicked to run an external file. I’ve got the buttons, but I can’t get the target to run. I searched through the forums and found some references to using FsCommand(“exec”, “path”😉 to get it to work, but all the strings I read this on either ended in failure or no solution. I tried toying with it and was unsuccessful as well. Any ideas on how best to do this???

Nope, No Dice. That fscommand is the same thing I was using.

> 

on(release) {  
fscommand(“exec”, “atcliun.exe”);  
}

Any other suggestions??

Duh I figured out why it wasn’t working for me. You need to place all targeted files into a folder called “fscommand”. Diddn’t know that. Now everything works fine.
