open pdf in os 9 from projector

[iffinch]

Hey there...
thanks for this great site, btw...

I've made a projector cd that needs to cross all platforms. The flash projectors only purpose is to open pdfs. I want this to occur without going through internet explorer. I've read the other forums on this issue, and i have manged to get it to work through actionscripts and fscommand on the pc and Mac os X. I can't seem to get it to work on Mac os 9.

this is my applecript...

tell application "Finder"
activate
select file "Calendar.pdf" of folder "fscommand" of disk "NCHSAA"
open selection
end tell

with a fscommand to exec the .app

I tried right clicking on the applescript, to get info, and checked the "open in Classic environment" in the the info window.
I have this script saved as a script and an app.

suggestions?

welcome to the forums

have you tried thirsd party programs, like screenweaver, swfstudio, flash studio pro,....
also you can convert your pdf to a swf (from within MX 2004) or .exe and then call the file from flash with a much easier way
