link to open external file - another beginner one

[dimitri]

another beginner question.

how can i link a button (or anything) to open a pdf file in acrobat (or
any other file in it's own thing.)

i have done it now with the getURL comand, what works but opens first
the browser. and it is not right, is it?

cheers dimitri

Hi.
You should try this script in your button:

on(release) {
fscomand("exec", "yourfile.pdf");
}

Make sure you have published flash movie (not swf!) and that "yourfile.pdf" is
in subfolder \fscommand

Reply if it works and check the spell check in actionscript
Good luck :)

The EXEC command can apply only to executable (exe) bat or commend files (com)
Do not support any other extension of file that require application in order to run.
That makes all windows files from pdf , gif , doc, txt etc.....

Need 3rd party tools like Jstart
