  1. You cannot run .exe in Web apps (flash/Actionscript)

  2. You could use Adobe Air desktop app to run a process on the local machine http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/html/dev/WSb2ba3b1aad8a27b060d22f991220f00ad8a-8000.html

  • I followed your instruction exactly same as u told ..but two errors are showing up why is this happening....Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 6 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: File. Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 6 1120: Access of undefined property File. – USERRR5 Mar 01 '15 at 06:01

Considering that you have a Desktop application using Adobe AIR, not a Flash Player based application running on browser.

You can try the method openWithDefaultApplication

var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath('UserGuide/carrace(banjonborno).exe');

trace('file?', file.exists);

if (file.exists) file.openWithDefaultApplication();

  • my game file (that i want to load from external folder)is not made in flash platform it is an exe file of another platform...what might be the cause of this error "file or directory access denied" i thought openWithDefaultApplication(); would work but not working :( where pdf files loading is not creating problem – USERRR5 Mar 02 '15 at 06:07
  • I believe will be necessary to dig more into your problems, sorry for not being able to help. – gabriel Mar 02 '15 at 07:13
