FS Command in MX?

[nicelycrew]

Hello,

I can't seem to launch a .ppt file from a projector using fs command.

Eg

on(release) {
fscommand("exec", "my_presentation.ppt");
}

The file is in a \fscommand folder in the root of the movie, but alas, nothing happens.

A similar command launches .exe ok.

I seearched through the forum, but couldn't find anything???

use a batch file to run the .ppt - using flash to call the batch which then calls the .ppt and runs that.

yup, seno is right
with MX u can only call exe files

Thanks for your answers, can you give me an idea of how the batch file would read please? It's unknown territory for me!
