flash (macromedia): I have a navigational menu for a CDROM that I created a while back using Flash
6. One of the navigational features was to "Browse files on this CDROM" which
opened a file window. Now I've added video and if I publish with Flash 7 the
link will not work but if I publish with Flash 6 it does (but then the video
isn't the same). Did something happen to getURL between 6 and 7? Why won't it
open a file window anymore in Flash 7? Here's the simple code for the button:

on (release) {
getURL(dir, "_blank");
}

Any ideas? Thanks.

publish using actionscript version 2.0

and player version 6

another alternative is to use mProjector to create your exe

then you can just call

mApplication.chooseFile()

Why not try something like this:

on(release) {
fscommand(exec, "dir");
}

Use JWeb its FREE.

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and
"mental illness."

Because of security I guess Macromedia has really limited the fscommand for
system functions.

The JWeb doesn't do much except open URLs. I need to be able to open the file
window of the CDROM so users can see the files on the CDROM. Doesn't seem like
there's a tool out there to do that with Flash 7....
