Hello,

I’m trying to link a pdf file in a new window from a button contained within my flash movie. Is this possible? I am having a lot of trouble with it.

I used the following code on the button:

on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://homepage.mac.com/smithisgeneric/rumours/v6n4.pdf](http://homepage.mac.com/smithisgeneric/rumours/v6n4.pdf)”, “\_blank”);  
}

with this code I have located my server space, indicated the name of the folder containing the pdf and specified the pdf file’s name.

I am also trying to figure out if I can specify the pixel size of the pop up window that I open with \_blank and remove controls/navigation.

Any suggestions would be appreciated,

Thanks,

KS
