Does anyone out there know how to launch PDFs from Flash MX in Acrobat (not in browser) without using geturl or Flashants?

That's absolutely hilarious.

... at least some people have a sense of humour....

[flashdudette]

make a button that calls the pdf file (or use a dynamic text with the url link) - where blank is loading the pdf file in a new brower page, _parent is loading in the current browser...

on (release) {
getURL("yourfile.pdf", "_blank");
}

Hey Mat,

For anyone that wants to launch files and programes from a flash mx projecter, look no further than FlashGeek (http://www.flashgeek.com)

OK, CU all again soon :D
