Hi John - If you want to execute a file via JSFL there's two ways that I know of:
1. There's an undocumented command in the JSFL File API called runCommandLine: http://www.asvguy.com/2004/07/undocumented_fl.html http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=547 Looking through some JSFL code I ran at some point, it looks like I didn't know the path to the executable to be launched, only the document, so I called it like so and it worked - explorer figured out the right exe. That'll only work on Windows though. FLfile.runCommandLine("explorer.exe " + docPath); 2. Use Guy Watson's JSAPI File System extension (Windows NT/2000/XP only) http://www.flashguru.co.uk/extensions/ hth. best, - rajat -- Rajat Paharia [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bunchball.com http://www.rootburn.com On 1/27/06, John Grden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can JSFL at least run a batch file?
