Launch CD burning software

[timj]

Is it possible to have Flash launch the default Windows CD burning software? If so, how do I do this?

[Programatorul]

in the older versions of flash you could but that's not possible anymore.

i don't know about flash 8 but in flash 7 you could launch an exe with fscommand("exec","...");that was in a dirrectory called fscommad placed next to your movie. You can make some app in c++ or something that does what you need and you'll launch it from flash.

your next best chance is to use a hacked projector that allows executing files on disk.

I want to launch the built-in Windows XP burning function. Is this possible?

told you. dirrectly from flash no. but you can make an application in VC++ or something that will launch the xp burning function, and when needed you'll launch this application from flash.
