RE: FLASH: a way to open browser from projector file

[Rey, Chrissy]

Thanks to those who helped ME come up with a solution to this problem :-)


If you'd like to open a particular HTML document in the default browser, simply make a BAT file containing the following:


	start myfile.htm


Pop an FSCommand into that button, using Exec, to open that BAT file.  The BAT file seems to need to be in the same directory as the projector calling it, but I've found that the HTML file doesn't need to be :-)


If you'd like to open the browser up, you can also do that with a BAT file - just put in the path of the executable you want to open and have the FSCommand Exec it.  I think it's also possible to just point the FSCommand "Exec" at the executable.


One word of caution, make sure you don't have any stand-alones called "start.exe" if you use the BAT file with the command start *grin*  I found out, after a week of my own BAT file not working, that it tries to open that executable :-P

hi,


just wondering if anyone has found a way to open a software application

(web browser) from a button residing inside flash projector file yet? I

tried using the FSCommand (exec) but to no avail. Is it technically

possible to do such a thing?
