Opening application from flash

[carlitos_pulento]

I have used this actionscript code in flash for a button to open windows explorer but it doesn't do anything:

on(release)
{*
fscommand("exec", "start\texplorer.exe")
}

do i need any JavaScript code also...

Ok Jesse, but even thought i only test my button with in my flash movie it doesn't do nothing. I have a button that once it is clicked it is supposed to open an application (for example windows explorer). Do you think that i need something more than just this action code assigned to my button, for example a function in JavaScript that catches this event:

on(release)
{
fscommand("exec","start\texplorer.exe")
}*

I have windows 98 as Operating System.
I am realy a beginner in FLASH by the way. So please i know that you receive a lot of requests but if you have some time please help me on this case or send some links.
