Launching Application

If you are running the course from the web then you cannot do this, as it would be a huge security risk, you may be able to do this if you run it via a projector (publish to cd) and run locally, but you would need to build your buttons in flash, and this would not work on Macs

Even using the projector, I am sure you cannot load the version of notepad and calc on your machine.  You would probably be best building the apps in flash (or an approximation of them) and loading them

Thanks Phil,

I am using my course for both web and projector, so in that case your advice is to building the apps in flash right. I can build the calc and notepad apps in flash using AS, but  one thing I don't know is how to save the notepad data in to local drive which I have created in flash. If u have any Idea to make it save, please help me out.

Thanks

I have really never tried this,  on the web you are probably going to have to write it to a database and then offer it back as a download (possibly via a web object) possibly do something in php

Via the projector I think you may be able to do this using fscommand, but I am only guessing, hopefully James or Steve Flowers can chime in

Thanks Phil,

I will try....
