I have designed a flash site and would like to have a button open a .pdf or .jpg file. I tried to use the getURL script to no avail. Can someone help me out and let me know what script i should use to get these files to open or if it is possible? I woudl like them to open in a separate browser also. Thanks for your time.

second parameter is a target and you should not put that in get url string.

getURL(" http://download....t8/st8_exploring.pdf","_blank");

thanks for the responses. One more question,

this movie is also going on a promo cd that can be handed out. the files won't necessarily be ftp'd to the web. What would the script look like for the file address? All the files would be contained in a folder on the CD. Thanks.
