I am creating a flash movie. imagine that. In my movie, I have a button that the user pushes and then I want the .mov file to pop up in quick time and the movie to play in quicktime. (the movie is too big to import into flash itself) This is the problem that I am having... in the action script of the button I have this:

on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "launcher.bat");
}


and then my launcher.bat is in the same folder as the movie. The launcher.bat says this:

START jeff/Jeff.mov

where jeff is the folder and Jeff.mov is my movie inside the jeff folder. When I first made this it worked fine. For some reason it all of the sudden doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?? [morning]
 
Your .bat files have to be in a subfolder "fscommand".
