I need to know how to load a pdf document from within flash. Using Flash Mx

I have tried using a batch file which i know works but for some reason flash will never execute it. The command i have used is
On (Release){
FSCommand ("EXEC", "launcher.bat");
}


But it doesnt work, IS it because Flash Mx doesnt support it?

Should i try another version?
 
you won't be able to launch it within the film. i personally would link to the file in a blank window. in any case the user has to have installed the acrobat reader. regards

A Flash MX projector can run any exe that's already installed on the user's machine, through the use of a batch file located in a "fscommand" sub-folder:
