Please don't use the Shell.open method, use the MCI object or the Windows Media Player ActiveX control instead.

Dear Swfkit,
Have a nice day

Thank you for your reply but the idea is that I don't want to use active x controller to play the media file inside the projector.

I want to make the media file itself plays by default media player when I press the button just like in fscommand

start video\video.mpg

but I don't like to use fscommand as it a little bit slow.
so is there a code to do it the same way as fscommand does.

waiting for your reply
I appreciate very much your help

In this way, the

Shell.open(getAdditionalFile("my.wmv"));

should work, but it will take a short time to launch the player.
