Dialog Box Problem

[between]

Hello everyone, I have an intermediate understanding of Flash and currently work with Flash MX. My problem is this. I am creating a digital portfolio to be published as a Projector (.exe) to be distributed on disc to firms I wish to work for. I want the user to click on the button I have created for a specific image/work I have completed and have a seperate Projector open displaying said image. I have accomplished this partly, yet a dialog box appears first prompting the user to "open\save\cancel\more info" as if the file is being downloaded. The action script I used was the following:

on (release) {
getURL("filename.exe", "_blank");
}

As I mentioned It will do what I want but not without that dialog box appearing first. I really don't want some HR lady having to select "open" everytime to view an image. Especially if there are 30+ images to be viewed. I just want them to be able to view the image and then close the flash player to return to the main Flash player to select others. Please help me with a way around this dialog box. Hopefully using action scripting.

p.s. I also don't want them to open in Internet Explorer using a .swf extension instead. Just a second Projector sized exactly to the image.

Not to sure what you want. Question here for you is do you just want the projector to opena and play...
is so can you use a an auto run program

What this will do is once someone places the cd in their computer it will automatic open your projector.

Thanks for the reply
Not an autorun. I want it to open a second projector. Much like in Internet Explorer when you click on a link another Explorer browser will launch to display that webpage. When you are finished you can close that browser window and return to the original site you were on, or, you may switch between the two from the windows taskbar.
I want this type of functionality but for it to be a Flash Player (Projector), not Explorer. So, when you click on the thumbnail of an image a second flash player will launch automatically to display the full size image. Kind of like a pop-up but with the flash player. It works with the code I included in my original question but like I said I get a dialog box asking me if I want to "save\print\cancel\more info" first. I want to get it to where that dialog box wont appear prior to launching the second flash player.

Thanks again for your help. Hope this is a bit more clear on my intentions.
