getURL from projector with FireFox

Hi There,

I'm just having a few (simple) problems when trying to launch pages and files from my Flash projector.

I'm wanting to launch local files (not online) from buttons in my projector using code similar to the following:

on(release){
getURL("document.rtf","blank");
}

This is working fine using IE as my default browser but FireFox requires that you specify the file:// protocol.

Any tips on how to do this? I've tried a few variations but none seem to work:

getURL("file:///document.rtf","blank");

Thanks for your help.
