Re: FLASH: download a file from a cd rom

[Gregg Caines]

Use GetURL to download a file...it will probably force the browser to

open, but it should work.  If it doesn't work, then you've probably given

an incorrect URL.  You can test the validity of the URL by entering it

in the browser yourself and seeing if you get a download.


I think a better way would be to put the screensaver on the CD and use

the FSCommand exec to run the setup file, but I don't know what your

reasons are.
