Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Actionscript / October 2005

OK - On my Desktop I have a QT video file called 0101.mov
I also have a BAT file named launcher.bat which contains the instruction:  
START 0101.mov
If I test the bat file by double clicking on it WHAMO....the WIndows media
player opens and Voila - we have video.

Now - inside my flash movie I simply have a button using the following action
script
on (release) {
    fscommand("exec", "launcher.bat");
}

I have the .fla file and the .swf file saved to the Desktop along with the
other files.

I am calling all you extremely talented code junkies to shed some
enlightenment my way.
