If anyone could help would be great!!

I'm creating a multi platform CD ROM (exporting out two projectors) I would
like to have a button where on release loads a PDF file - I have looked at
using the FS COMMAND to load an application but since the path will be
different on every computer.

Any ideas????

This is for users who will not be connected to the internet. The PDF will be
on the CD.

THANKS

Download an evaluation and try for yourself.

of course
getUrl("test.pdf");
works on a pc (assuming Acroread installed).
Don't know 'bout MAC.

To catch the OS you can use:

_root.$version

Have U tried to use relative paths?

use GetUrl and point it to the pdf file using a relative path to the pdf file
on your cd-rom.

./ links to same dir
../ links to above dir

if pdf file is in /pdf and the projector is in / use this link path:

./pdf/filename.pdf

I believe relative paths work on every platform.

Hope i've helped
