Im making a three related VB program and i want to integrate them into one
package, for the easier access and navigation on those program, I make a flash
file which serves as interface or menu for the navigation.
My problem is how to call or run on those program in just one click of a flash
button, i want to run the exe program not the installer.
I mean if I install the program that I made in the VB on my PC, there must a
menu to choose on the three program.
I try to use the geturl and it works but there is prompt(popup message for to
choose run and save.
I want if i click the button, it will go directly on the application.
Please help me on my problems.!
Thanks.!

Running external apps from native Flash is not well supported so you are
limited and likely will be frustrated.

The way to go is to write a wrapper for the Flash player and have Flash
communicate with your wrapper via getURL if you like. That wrapper in turns
deals with the OS.

If you do not want to write the wrapper, you can use third party products such
as Zinc that do this for you.

Adobe Apollo when it comes out appears to provide this same functionality.
