Can someone help…  
I was wondering if there is another way of open a pdf doc from flash(on a mouse action) than the fs command?

Here is the probl:  
I have a button. On press it opens a pdf which is fine. But before opening acrobat it shows this ugly black msdos window?

Is there another way of opening a pdf? (not in a browser window but in acrobat).
