Hello!
If you’re working on an interactive CD presentation and the client wants a certain link to launch a powerpoint file, you’re gonna need this tutorial, nothing complicated, so easy to use.
Step 1:
We’re gonna create a batch file that will launch the pps file.
Open Notepad or any other text editor you have, and write this sentence: START myPresentation.pps:

Then save the file as “launcher.bat” and save the file inside a folder named “fscommand”, and put inside it the pps file also.
Step 2:
In flash, write the following actionscript on the button:
on (release) { fscommand ("exec", "launcher.bat"); }
This is it!
Have a great day!

Hello,
Thanks for posting this tutorial. However, upon clicking the button with the Actionscript, it did not launch the ppt. It only launches the ppt when I click on the launcher.bat inside the fscommand folder.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
