Hi, i have a quick question i hope someone can answer. I am working on a flash project that loads outside pdf's through fscommands. It works perfectly, only I need to burn these files onto a cd for clients, and when i do, the pdf load time gets doubled or even tippled, which I don't like.

Is there a way to possibly speed up the load time for the pdf's? will i need a 3rd party thing? any/all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

The slower loads are unavoidable from CD, especially if the CD spins down because it will need time to get back up to speed before any data transfer can take place. The only way to speed things up would be to copy the PDF files to the HD and access them from there, but that would mean using some kind of installer and then your Flash app has to know where the PDF files are on the HD (if it stays on the CD).
