Execute external exe from projector flash

Question

We have a projector application (.exe) compiled from AS3. How can we start another (external) executable from the projector?

This is the code...it does nothing visible.

//Play ACQ Demo
Acq.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickAcq);
function clickAcq(event:MouseEvent):void {
                flash.system.fscommand("exec",".\\ACQ\\Acq.exe");
                trace("ACQ clicked");
                gotoAndPlay("Main");
}

Answer 1

The documentation says the program you want to execute should be in an 'fscommand' folder that is next to the projector exe. (You can put a bat file there to start other programs)
