flash data integration: ok mabie its too early in the morning but i know it has to be pretty simple .
How do i load an external file (in this case an excel worksheet) from a button
in flash? i'm of course going to use it in a projector so there is no URL etc..
typing the name o fthe xls in the link properties bar doesnt seem to work..
help! (this has got to be the easiest thing you guys have challenges thus far
:) )

thanks for the help -

Try to use the FS commands. In Macromedia Flash MX this application must be in
a folder named "fscommand" which is a direct subfolder of the projector.

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