I’m making a flash project that will end up as an .exe file on a CD…

I was wondering if there was a way to launch a pdf in this file. I know on the web, I could use the:

on (release) {  
getURL(xxxxx)

…but I don’t think this will work in an .exe file? Does anyone have any way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance!
