I am creating a cd-rom that will launch pdf's, doc's, etc. I read up and found out that you can't launch a word doc in Word or Excel docs in Excel without a 3rd party app. My problem is that when I launch these apps the browser window that displays them is sometime behind my fullscreen flash app.

when I use
getURL("whatever", "_top");


I still get it launching behind. Any ideas?

Thanks OldNewbie,

Little new to building CDs so bare with me. I went to Extending Flash and saw TopMost which looked like the component I would use. From there I would place their topmost.exe in my root folder. Then in my code reference using the following code

btn.onRelease = function(){
fscommand("EXEC", "topmost.exe" + chr(9) + "myExcelDoc.doc");
}

This would launch my excel doc in a browser on top of my Flash projector?

What is the chr(9)?

Thanks for all your help.

Does anyone know how to use the above component from extended flash?
