Hello

The Flash MX 2004 Tutorials are beautiful and simple. I am just 15 days old in flash programming.  
I want a link in the action script to open new window a file saved only my PC. I tried getURL(“D:/sef99/desktop/linear.html”) but I get an error the 'file///D:sef99/… check your path.

thank you
