let say you want to load flash2.exe from flash1.exe
create a folder called "fscommand" at the same directory of your flash1.exe
put your flash2.exe inside the folder mentioned above.

in flash1.exe
fscommand("exec", "flash2.exe"); //to execute flash2.exe

in flash2.exe
fscommand("fullscreen", "true"); //to run current flash movie in fullscreen mode

on the first frame place :
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");

check help files for "fscommand" to find more useful commands for projector use.

Thanks,
I looked up fscommand, and what i needed to do was use this:
fscommand("exec", "application.exe")
Where you put the exe in a folder named "fscommand". Instead I wrote a .bat file and ran that:

fscommand("exec", "runApp.bat");

The bat file contained:
---------------------------
@ echo off
start ../application.exe
exit
---------------------------------------

this ran application.exe from the location of the application which called it, rather than in the fscommand folder.
Hope this helps others too.

Cheers,
L.
