...projector?

Ive created an interactive CV using director, but id like to add a feature
where the user can download a PDF/word verison of my CV

Is there any way of doing this, without the use of internet, ie: could put the
PDF file as an external cast, and then link from the projector? is there
download fuction?

thanks for your time

You could try the 'open' or 'open ... with ...' syntax to launch the PDF file
on command but you will need to make the user has Acrobat or the Viewer on
their machine. I have found the best way is to use 'open with' command
alongside the BuddyAPI xtra to copy the file to the user's hard drive or open
it directly form the CD. BuddyAPI can check to see if they have Acrobat or the
Viewer and either re-dreict them to an internet download or provide the Viewer
installer on CD.
