how do I open an external .mov in quicktime player?

[thesoundword.com]

I need help writing an action script for a button. I want an external .mov file to open in a quicktime player and not a webpage or popup window. I have the html object code to do this, but am new to flash and we have an all flash site now. Thanks for the help.

Using mx 2004

Does anyone know the action script for a button to open quicktime player and a movie? I can open a web page with the mov in it, but I want to open the actual quicktime player skin. I have the html object code to do this, but I need to do it in flash now . . . Thanks!

you could try using a batch file:

FSCommand ("exec", "myBatchFile.bat");

inside the batch file you would script
start myQuicktimeMovie.mov

it would spawn an external player, I've had success using this for projector files, although I haven't tried it on an html embedded swf...

I'm stuck and can't seem to find any answers - using mx 2004, created a button and I have an external movie open via "openurl" in action script. the trouble is, I want the movie to open in a quicktime player - not in another web page. In html I use objects and parameters to accomplish this quite easily - but I can't figure out how to do it in actionscript - any ideas? Thanks . . .
