Hi folks,

Recently I’ve updated myself to Flash 8 and am having some issues from my menu btn to open local files:

about\_btn should load player.html which is local file an d normally I do:

on (release) {  
getURL(“c:press/player.html”, “\_blank”);  
}

There is no errors just in my web browser i got page cannot be display it and this path:

file:///f:press/player.html

Someone told me with Flash 8 the way to make links to files in multimedia presentations has change to a .BAT file!!! any ideas…

So far no luck for me, error remains!!! please help!

Thank you :puzzle:
