Hi:
I’ve got an Acrobat linking question. See below.

I need to be able to fire a Flash projector file (an .exe) from a link in Acrobat Reader. Basically, the user clicks a link in Acrobat Reader that fires a Flash projector file.

So far the only thing I've got is that Acrobat Reader fires an html file that calls the .exe. However, this is messy because Windows pop ups two different dialog boxes regarding possible viruses and "do you want to run this file" type things.

I know that you can put JavaScript in Acrobat Pro (or at least in Designer, which comes with pro). However, I'm not the JavaScript guru and I haven't been able to make it work.

Anyone have any ideas? The only requirements are that the user will link from a link in the Acrobat Reader file and ultimately end up in a projector file. I'm trying to reduce or eliminate any popup warnings from Windows, if possible.

Please help. :confused:
