Hi all,

I have produced a CD and published it as a projector using Flash mx. I am having a problem in that it won’t open a pdf file in ‘Mozilla’. Earlier discussions on the forum stated that one should not/cannot call the pdf file through the .exe, but use getURL.

I have used the following:

on(release){  
getURL(“spiders.pdf”);  
}

This works fine with clients who have internet explorer but not those who are using Mozilla Firefox. It appears that Mozilla is not compatible??? Is there any simple way (apart from scrapping Mozilla) in which I can open this file?

Thanks,  
B
