Hi,
In the same line that Peter I use:
\href{run:animate_up.bat}
this command simply executes the script file animate_up.bat, that in my
case contains the command "animate slide8/up.gif". (By the way, run only
accepts one parameter, that is, \href{run:animate slide8/up.gif is
invalid}
Hope this helps
Roberto
