Hi All -

I am doing a flash piece (on CD) where I need to launch several Director sub
projects (executables) in a new window. I have tried the following with no luck
: ( "main" is my director test file):

on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "main.exe");
}

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong??

I would really appreciate any assistance..

Chris

My guess would be this. You probably have the main.exe in the same folder as
your flash CD exe. In order for this to work properly you will need to make a
folder called [b]fscommand[/b] in the directory of you flash exe. Place your
main.exe in that folder and walla... it works great!

Good luck and I hope that helps,
Bryan
