I’ve created a project for a CD. However, I need to know how to have a button, when clicked on, open a specific folder on that CD. I thought getURL might work, but that only opens in a browser. With IE it may work but with Firefox it doesn’t.

```auto

on (release){
    getURL("../FolderName/Filename")
}

```

Any ideas on this? The file I’m trying to open is an HTML file if that helps.

Also, this is a cross-platform CD so it would need to work on a mac too.

Any help would be great.

Thanx!
