Hi I’m trying to launch a new browser window from flash to open up a pdf document. This is the script I am currently using:

[color=blue]on(release){  
getURL(“pdfs\ imetable.pdf”, \_blank);  
}[/color]

This works fine in IE but for some reason does not work in Mozilla Firefox (which I’ll need it to work in as well). Does anyone know a solution to this?

Thank You
