Another option is to use MDM Zinc to wrap your flash movie in. This is
really simple and offers a cross-platform solution. It is fairly expensive
though if that is the only reason you need to use the third party wrapper. I
have also used a bat file from a bloke called Northcode - do a search on
Flashkit.com and there is a long thread on this subject.

Good luck!

Hi Bassam, 

I don't have my Director documentation in front of me at the moment, but
I believe it's this:
Result = baOpenFile(fullPathToFile, "Normal")
-- returns a numeric value of whether or not it worked.

That line of code needs the *full* path to the file name, and it opens
the app based on the associated file extension.  The "Normal" opens the
app how it's normally opened, i.e., minimized, maximized.

It should be working, can you post the line of code?

- MM
