Hey there Guys,
Ive just run into a little problem .. I have this huge DVD presentation [4
months of dev] and my client has just come back and requested that it be multi
platform. We have 4 movies that we have working from the projector on a PC
although now we need it to happen on a Mac .. I have the .mov in a fscommand
folder
This is what I have done, and I cant see why it wont work .. this is too
simple to be bothering other people about, but I guess that is what so
frustrating ..

on(release) {
fscommand ("exec", "myMovie.mov");
}

Now as far as Im concerned when you click that button its gonna launch
quicktime with myMovie.mov playing .. why on earth aint it

Cheers
L

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

Convert the video to FLVs and stream it into your projector. Then it is seemless within Flash and will not rely on the user having to have QuickTime installed or anything like that.

Exec only works with executable files, use getURL to open documents
like movies, PDFs etc.
