I am using Flash 8 and would like to know if I can have a button in my movie open up a .pdf file either in Acrobat or a new html window? My movie will be run from a CD in a PC with no internet access. I am trying by using the following code on a button

on (click) {
getURL("Joe.pdf","_blank");
}

but this is not working. Thanks.

Yes this will NOT work you need to use a third party tool like FlashJester
JStart

Download a FREE evaluation copy. Try it for yourself and look at the example
files given to see if working.

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and

Dude, on(click) isnt a Flash Action. Try on(release) or on(press).
