O.P. How to open .exe program from a Flash Movie?
I'm trying to open a program from within a flash movie.

I know the only way is using fscommand(command,parameter);

but i can't make it work... does it have to be on the same folder of the movie?

Making sure you specify the full path to the EXE, otherwise the system may not find it.

I tried using full path... still doesn't work.

My code is this one:
code:
on(release) {
fscommand ("exec","c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe");
}

It won't work in the  browser, try running it in the flash stand alone player (publish as .exe first).
