Hi,  
I’m having trouble trying to link a .swf using xml to open up an html link that is on the cd that a user will have in their drive when running the swf.

home.swf \> goes to CD drive\> open up about.html

example of xml:  
\<linktype=“sample” display=“yes” ref=“file:///d:/about.html”\>

is there some kind of wild card to access the CDROM drive?

any help will be greatly appreciated.
