getURL, fscommand and OSX

1

hi all-

i’m dealing with some weirdness in a projector app that i’m making–it’s going to be a resource cd-rom, populated w. pdf files–i’m using getURL from the main file to open the pdf in the browser, since that appears to be the only way to accomplish this (btw, i looked into using the ‘exec’ fscommand, but it appears to only work for windows.exe files) anyway, it seems to work fine on the pc, but in OSX everytime i click the button to open the pdf in the browser, explorer crashes, and safari appears (it looks like they’re fighting for control).

does anybody have any insight into this problem, or any ways around it? is getURL the only way to go? any help is greatly appreciated!

regards,

ive never had a problem wit osx and fscommand, i think its a acrobat problem instead of using a pdf document why dont you use html instead that way everyone that doesnt have acrobat can view it, unless you plan on distributing acrobat on your cd

html unfortunately is not an option–these docs are already prepared–it’s too bad that ‘exec’ only works on pc .exe files–i’d love to just open the files–oh well…thanks for the reply, though:)
