Downloading from CD-ROM

[jayboduke]

Hi,

I have got a flash 8 projector running of a CD-ROM, I want to be able to download pdf's from a folder on the CD to the users desktop (or wherever they choose), I have tried using FileReference.download(), but that doesnt work because it needs a http URL for the parameter.

I want to be able to do something like this

var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
var url:String = "pdf/file1.pdf";
if(!fileRef.download(url, "file1.pdf")) {
trace("dialog box failed to open.");
}

But because the URL isnt http, the dialog box is failing to open.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
