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!

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 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bassam M Sent: Friday, October 24, 2008 6:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] open word document from flash Hi Mendelson I download Buddy API but I'm not able to open word file from director I can open txt file by baOpenFile() can you tyell me to open word file or excel from director using Buddy API. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
