I've looked around the site and I havent found anything refering to this.

I'm creating an Interface in flash which will browse through a list of pdfs.
This interface will be published on a CD-ROM for distribution.

How do I launch the pdfs directly from a link in the flash exe? Since it is
not playing within a browser I can't use getURL.

It's been years since I've had to do this, and the last time I used the
fsCommand to launch an exe file created in Director which would in turn open
the pdf file. I'm hoping there is a better solution.

Thanks for reading this!
