I’ve created a project that has links to pdf files. For whatever reason, it takes forever to load up a pdf file. It’s not because it’s on a CD or because my computer is slow. It just takes several minutes to load up a simple pdf file. I have no problem though going straight to the file on my computer and opening it up - it’s only when it’s done through flash.

I was wondering if there is a different way to code a link or if there is anything else I can do to fix this problem.

Here is my coding:

```auto
 on (release){
getURL("AAAM/AAAMGrant.pdf", "_blank");
} 

```

Thanx
