FLASH: Loading MS Word from Flash

[Dominic Dunnigan]

Hi all, wonder if anyone can help.


I have a movie with a button in it that I want to be able to open a bunch of

files. Just now, the button uses a "get URL" command which, when pressed,

goes scurrying through a series of folders and opens up an MS Word document

(relevant to where you are in the movie). But, because it's a "get URL", it

opens the Word file in the user's default browser, which means they have to

use "Save as" Iif the browser is IE) to get it back to being a Word document

on their machine. Is there any way of actually directly opening the Word

file in Word? I mean, to get an FS command to directly execute the MS Word

.exe, and open up a specific Word document in Word? Is this as clear as mud?

Any ideas?

TIA


Dom
