I'm not sure what your context or situation is but Flash (nor anything in a sandbox like a webpage) can't load executable files off the filesystem. If you're running this in a projector then you can use the fscommand exec function, see here for more details:

Flash CS4 Professional ActionScript 2.0

Each button runs a separate function. Just as you have your first button code working, copy that code and paste it for each separate button.

In the code, be sure to change the button name to the appropriate button instance names. Then change the fscommand it runs to the proper executable.
