hi

i try actually flash mx trial...but i would like in future if possible use " Swish " for make my full graphical interface and after send my animation to a friend have flash mx for just convert the animation in .exe.

I don't need to have (and buy) the full flash mx....is the reason why i would like use Swish..(more cheaper and easy for make the simple things i want)....but Swish can not export the animation in .exe....

thanks for your help..

regards

The FSCommand is what you should use, and for it to work with the current Flash 6 player, the application to be opened, must be in a folder named "fscommand", a level lower than the directory, your projector file (.exe) is located in.

on (press) {
fscommand("exec", "your.exe");
}

I am not sure how to launch an exe file from Swish but
to create exe file after you export to your SWF format
just open your SWF file with your Flash Player then select "File / Create Projector..."
name it what you want and it will create an "EXE" file
