Re: [flasher] Local pc commands from flash

[Muzak]

In a projector (exe) -> yes, in a browser (swf) -> no.

You can launch any program with the fscommand("exec","path-to-program.exe") command.

I'm not sure if this also works on a Mac, but it does on a PC.

On a PC you can also launch programs that are in the systems' path, just by specifying its name:

All these work (on Win2K) and there's probably more.

//launch notepad

    fscommand ("exec", "notepad.exe");

    fscommand ("exec", "notepad");

//launch calculator

    fscommand ("exec", "calc.exe");

    fscommand ("exec", "calc");

//launch command

    fscommand ("exec", "cmd.exe");

    fscommand ("exec", "cmd");


hth,

Muzak
