hi,  
here my problem :

I have made a simple flash animation on a CD. I assign to a boutton :

on (release) {  
getURL(“D:/de/location/pladja\_daro/index\_de.htm”, “new window”);  
}

to open a file.html

the problem is the letter D of the CD-Rom drive. ( if someone has its CDROM called (F) the file won’t be found on the CD !! )

I tried :

on (release) {  
getURL("/de/location/pladja\_daro/index\_de.htm", “new window”);  
}

but the result is the same.

how can I get the boutton work in a CDROM DRIVE whatever may be its name???

can anyone help me?

thanks !

Can’t you just use a relative pad, from where the .exe is on the CD-rom ?
