How do I open pdf on top of my Flash-made interface?

[bncl]

I'm now making a CD interface with Flash, and i need to create a link to a pdf file on the interface, i have tried to insert the path and file name in the "URL link" box in Properties, but when i click on the link, the pdf is opened in the back of the screen, what i can do to default set the new window to open on the front of the interface?

I did a search and found on the web and found that we can use the fscommand "exec" to launch executable files, if i do so, how do i convert a pdf to executable file?

on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "MenuBox.exe");
}

Any hints or advices are appreciated.

Many thanks :)

Howdy...

Also, 'freeMX' and 'topmost' are good terms to search in the forum... :)

I just got a fix by putting my Pdf file together with an .exe and .ini file inside fscommand folder, and then i can click on the link on my interface and have the pdf opened up on the front instead of back now.

on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "PdfName.exe");
}

PdfName.exe
PdfName.ini
PdfName.pdf

Still, thank you, CyanBlue, and thanks for your help again Farafiro.
:) :)
