even launching another flash exe does not seem to work using code off Macromedia website.

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

Wow HERE IS THE SOLUTION

call:
fscommand("exec", "runMovie.bat");
===============================
create a bat file in a subfolder of the exe. the folder must be named
fscommand.
bat file reads: START VideoComp.wmv

then just place VideoComp.wmv in the fscommand folder also.

:D

You can use JStart to launch any file.

or you can use JMovie if you want more control over Window Media Player, no
border, controls, etc.

Download FREE evaluation copies of the above tools and try it for yourself.

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and
