A Flash project calls for launching 2 SEPERATE exe files, (LabWindows CVI)
When the .exes were produced, they were given the SAME file names for both
versions, (.uir, .dll ., and several dozen supporting files/file folders) so
they can not be differentiated if they all reside together in a fscommand
folder. I can open one successfully using:

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

However, when I try to place the 2 versions into a subfolder within the
fscommand folder, it fails to launch.
Can FlashMX find a subfolder within the fscommand folder?
fscommand("exec", "./folder/file.exe); does not find it.

Any help with be appreciated. Thanks!

mm..

You must be doing something wrong here.

We use this technique all the time with our tool JStart, you can use it
being used in the examples in the evaluation copy.

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

Just put the BAT files in the FSCommand folder and you can put the EXE
files and all their dependencies on the CD where ever you like - BAT
files can launch files from anywhere ont he CD.

You might want to check out http://www.northcode.com/misc/proxy.zip
for a FREE utility I wrote that will let you run BAT files from Flash
and avoid the ugly DOS box. There's documentation in the ZIP file, and
there was a big discussion about it (and some other utilities I wrote)
in http://www.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=519274 in the
Standalone and Applications forum.

All you need in your BAT file is two lines and you can leave out the
@echo off if you use my PROXY utility. The / at the beginning of the
path to file.exe makes sure the reference is relative to the root of
the CD. It's the closest thing you can get to an absolute reference
(which would be best) without using a third party tool.

@echo off
/folder/file.exe
