I want to attach a pdf so that when a button is clicked the pdf appears. This is not on the internet but on a CD with a flash movie on it. Right now the PDF appears but thru a browser because of the script.
on (release) {getURL(“englishfinal.pdf”);
but I don’t know any other way. I just want it to open in adobe reader not a browser window.

not possible. The pdf will open in whatever the user has as default for that extension. That is usually the Acrobat Reader plugin for the browser.
sorry…
