Hi, I want to be able to Open a new 'Explorer' window that defaults to lets say 'C:\' on the local machine or a network DRV. I want to be able to launch this from a link on a web page, that has been designed using Flash technology (using the Swish Program).

The reason i wont to do this is because it is for a intranet project i am playing around with, that could enable users to open a Explorer window displaying their Networked Home Drive...

Can it be done using the Flash technology or would it have to be done in Dreamweaver?

Any Suggestions or tips welcome.

Cheers

Danny

you should be able to do that with flash..

1. use geturl function and call javascript from flash which will open new window. Like s:

geturl("javascript:OpenWindow('C:\','newWIn,'')")
2. Define function in the JavaScript code area which will open the window.

<script language="JavaScript">
function OpenWindow(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures) {
newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures);
}

</script>

I know its a long shot, but I am designing the page using the program called 'Swish' (www.swishzone.com). This proggie uses and pages using Flash technology but it is not Flash by Macromedia...
Do you think that I should still be able to do the GetURL & java script things init?
