[AS2] Open folder problem

[TM Webbdesign]

Hello

I want to make a link in my flash movie that opens a folder in windows but not with the webreader. But my flash movie will be on a usb memory stick so the url adress must be from the usb root folder because other wise it will relate from example F:// and that wont work when people have the usb as example D://

Need help ASAP.. please

Best regards
Thomas

Create a BAT file called browse.bat with the following code in it...


explorer \


Put that file in a folder called fscommand on your USB drive. The fscommand folder and your EXE should be in the same folder (usually the root of the drive).

Now put fscommand("exec", "browse.bat"); in your FLA where you want to start the explorer window, usually in response to a button being clicked.

You are done.
