Question

Opening A PDF Using Flash

OK, so there are countless hits on Google regarding this question, but there is not a single decent answer out there which seems to work. All I need is a surefire way of opening a PDF document after the user clicks a button. That is all. Most of the answers on the web talk about batch files for use on a CD or whatever. All I need is a simple way of getting the PDF to open.

I've tried using the getURL command but this only works if the browser window is already open, otherwise it gives an error.


Any ideas?

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and
"mental illness."
