Hi,

I can explain how to launch an external file or application from a flash exe, but this link is much better and probably geared more towards what you need.....

thanks buddy that helped alot! :D I have another question though, when you run the flash application how can I take away the windows border without having to maximize the windows on startup? in other words i want the window to look like a splash screen.

This app is for a CD, are there any compatibility issues I need to consider before distributing the CD :?:
