Run an Adobe PDF from flash 1

[ChrisAda]

I have created a front end on my CD-ROM using flash. It runs two executables using the fscommand. My problem is that I also want to view a PDF by selectig a button in Flash. It can run either in flash or having adbobe acrobat reader pop up. I'm not picky. Is there an easy way to do this because I haven't managed to figure it out. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Did you try using getURL?

Yes, I tried this but it brings up IE and with the URL in the address bar showing the PDF file. It will work if I hit the enter button, but I want it to open automatically so that the user is not confused as to what they should do. Thanks for your help.
