fscommand doesn't work

[qilong]

I use fscommand at a few frames before the last frame.

fscommand ("exec, "launch.bat"

I'm using the batch (.bat) file to run a ".pps" (PowerPoint Slide file) because the exec command would only work with executable files.

Is there anything wrong with my actionscript, or is there any other way to execute a .pps file ?

Well there were changes for security reasons, so you should read up on it here:

Read up on the exec examples down the page. You need to have a subfolder... Etc...

What is your actual setup? What are you launching exactly in your bat file? In fact what are all of your scripts? Regards,

I am lauching the Ms Powerpoint file. But it's cannot be run.

Is there any other better way than using the batch file to launch the Ms Powerpoint file?

a trick I once heard that might be worth trying is starting an explorer with as argument the file you want to open. Explorer will then start powerpoint.
