Hi all,
Im creating a CD Autorun using Flash 8 + XML. where I will have 2 links which I have provided inside XML and that will reflect in flash projector.

The idea behind this is, in future if I want to change the name of the first link I can do that by changing the XML file itself rather than doing that inside flash.

Well I successfully got link and content from XML using the following code inside my fla
==============================code inside my Fla==========================
headlineXML = new XML();
headlineXML.onLoad = myLoad;
headlineXML.load("suresh.xml");
function myLoad(ok) {
if (ok == true) {
Publish(this.firstChild);
}
}

function Publish(HeadlineXMLNode) {
if (HeadlineXMLNode.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "BROADCAST") {
content = "";
story = HeadlineXMLNode.firstChild;
while (story != null) {
if (story.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "STORY") {
lead = "";
body = ""; f
URL = "";
element = story.firstChild;
while (element != null) {
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "LEAD") {
lead = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "BODY") {
body = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "URL") {
URL = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
element = element.nextSibling;
}
content += "<a href='"+URL+"'>"+lead+"</a> "+body+" ";
txt.htmltext=content;
}
story = story.nextSibling;
}
}
}
==================End of code inside my fla====================

=============my XML===============
<broadcast>

<story>

<lead>Execute exe1</lead>

<body>Some content about exe1</body>

<URL>exe1.exe</URL>

</story>

<story>

<lead>Execute exe2</lead>

<body>Some content about exe2</body>

<URL>exe2.exe</URL>

</story>

</broadcast>

============end of my XML ============

My problem is whenever I click the "Execute exe1" link instead of executing the exe file I'm getting a save dialogue box from the browser.

I thought of rectifying this problem using the FScommand like this

"fscommand(exec, URL = element.firstChild.nodeValue);"

which is not executing. Can someone help me fixing up this issue?

Thanks in advance,
M. Suresh
