Opening an Acrobat Document (Shell?)

[Guest_imported]

In a D7 presentation, I am trying to create a button that opens Adobe Acrobat and then opens an acrobat document. I have written the code below, but only the second line works - but that only opens Acrobat and not my document...

on mouseUp me

--open "Acrodoc.pdf" with "C:Acrobat3\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"


--open "C\Acrobat3\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"


--open the moviePath & "Acrodoc.pdf" with "CAcrobat3\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"

end

In visual Basic, I would use the "Shell" command to do this - how do I do it in Director?

Thanks

Only thing I can think of is the typos might be messing it up.
I have redone the same commands with the "\" and ":" fixed.

open "Acrodoc.pdf" with "C:\Acrobat3Reader\AcroRd32.exe"

open the moviePath & "Acrodoc.pdf" with "C:\Acrobat3\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"

You can use the FileXtra3 to do this. In your case, if Acrobat isn't installed in this path, your code does't work correctly.
