Thanks for your replies Kevin and John. Unfortunately it seems that
neither of your solutions will work for me.
Director
I don't have Director and would rather try and use a current
technology if it is available and compile my application from Flash or
using the Flex command-line compiler.
fscommand
As far as I can see using this route requires that the application to
be launched must exist in a specific folder on the DVD. I need to be
able to open WMVs and I don't believe there is a free viewer for this
file type.
Any other suggestions very gratefully received, surely this is a
pretty common action?
Thanks :)

If you are using a Projector, you could look into fscommand - that has
the ability to execute applications:

Hiya, I'm building a DVD that will allow the user to open powerpoint
and wmv files on their computer by clicking on buttons.
The user will already have Windows Media Player and Powerpoint
installed and the files will exist on the DVD.
How can I trigger the actions to launch these files?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Ali
