I will give you the 500 points that were meant to be yours, becasue I feel bad taking them away from j3one. I will post a question in Flash section "What is the latest version of Flash" so when you respond I'll accept the answer, OK? when you respond to this, I'll post it straight away!
jakekula that was good of you. But i believe totally unnecessary.the points are good but not evrything ;-)
Where are we on this question ?Did the link help you or were you looking for something else ?

thanks, but i made an autorun cd (which u know), and it has files on it, so from within my flash, i want to have a link or button that when clicked, opens a file browser to show the contents of the cd
ASKER
so basically, i just need a Windows File Explorer
The second link should've helped you in setting that up

It is recommended to create a .exe file from the .swf file so that the file will run whether or not flash is installed on his system.
(Currently the system am working on doesnt have it ;-) )

oh i see what i wrote wrong, i meant 'windows explorer' (which shows drives like C:, D:, A:, etc...) not 'explorer' for the internet :). Because i need to view the files on the cd.
Oops you need a file browser and i was talking about internet browser
ASKER
yeah, is it possible? or am i living a dream?
Never tried that before. Normally we just open the internet explorer browser.
Problem with opening the explorer would be first finding where its installed, c:\windows or d:\cwindows
also depends on the operating system 95/98 you have c:\windows for
windows xp/2000 you have c:\winnt.
Hang around maybe somebody else knows how to do it

Use this software to add those functionalities to your projector: http://www.multidmedia.com/software/flashstudio/
Look at this sample: http://www.multidmedia.com/software/flashstudio/downloads/fsp_ftp.zip
It does open a File Browser window in the projector, letting you choose files..
