Urgent IE problem

programming flash

Hi, I’m linking to a .WMV video file through a button in actionscript using this simple code:

on (release) {
getURL("videos/squaresUSHigh.wmv");
}

It links ok but the problem is that it puts the file in Internet Explorer’s stupid little docking bar at the side. Does anybody know a way around this to make it just open Windows Media Player?

Many thanks in advance,
David Fox

You can TRY FSCommand(“exec”, “videos/squaresUSHigh.wmv”);
Not sure if this will work, cause this is a Projector command, but worth a try.
Make sure your publish template is set to export with FSCommand!

Thanks very much. I eventually decided to use a different technique but I’ll bare your advice in mind anyway.

Cheers
