ActionScript 3 Tutorials. Conquering FSCommand EXEC Part 1 : Proxy - Northcode Inc. A typical requirement you'll run across when developing CD based Flash projects is the need to open documents from your Flash projector.

The EXEC fscommand could be used to launch a helper application, but unfortunately the EXEC fscommand doesn't allow you to pass parameters to external applications so you have no way to tell the outside world which file you want to open. You can thank the creators of the first Flash virus (SWF/LFM-926) for the fact that every version of the stand-alone Flash player since Flash MX has restricted the use of the EXEC command. This change made it impossible for anyone to create any new Flash based viruses, but it also crippled the Flash projector as a tool for legitimate users by instantly rendering many free projector extension tools useless.
