get local file from CD

flash actionscript: I need to be able to load a file, which is an .exe, when someone clicks on the
button. The .exe file is also on the CD with the flash movie. I have tried
getURL, which doesn what I want, brings up the save as box, but it also brings
up a browser window, which I don't want. What would the action script be to
bring just the save as window up? Thanks

[b]fscommand(command, parameters)

command = "exec" (to executes an application from within the projector.)
parameters = Path to application[/b]

(see flash help documentation for a further details)

couple of questions:

do I still need the on(release)...is that the fscommand part of your
statement? also, what is the [b] for? would this be the correct code:

on(release) (exec, download.exe)

what am I missing? thanks

ok, I used this code:

on(release) {fscommand("exec",flashplayer7_win.exe);}

when I didn't put on(release) the code said I had to have an on type, I
also had to add thd { because it said it needed handles. what is wrong
with the above code? thanks so much for your help.

I was merely pointing you in the right direction as you said getURL() wasn't
what you were after. I didn't see it neccessary to write all the code to do it
for you.
It is far better to learn and implement than have someone else do it all for
you.

[q]on(release) {fscommand("exec",flashplayer7_win.exe);}[/q]

You need double quotes around the file name.
