Can anyone tell me if it is possible to launch separate .exe files from within
a Flash .exe file?

I currently have an SWF that will call other SWFs in separate windows as
needed with no problems. That would be well and good, but I have a customer
who requires .exe files. Before you give me an answer, let me say this. I am
developing on a Mac, so any PC only tools will not work for me. Even if there
is a way to launch a .CMD or .BAT file that would be great.

Any ideas?

Flash CS3 and the FSCOMMAND no longer works. Adobe broke the function and there are no
updates to fix it, so far. We all resolve in 3rd party tools to get it working.
I don't know of any tools for Macs, I only know that friends of mine who run Flash on Mac,
went back to Flash 8 to output their projectors.

Thanks for the info. I suppose that moving back to Flash 8 will work.
