I have a flash application that is being run from a CD. On the CD there are also PDF files that are instruction manuals.

Is there a way to copy the PDF files on the CD to the local hard drive from within flash? i.e., the user clicks a button from within the flash application and the files from the CD are copied from the CD to the hard drive.

fscommand???

thanks
