I;m using:

on(press){
getURL("my.pdf",blank);
}

To open my pdf within Flash MX. when I test this on a Mac it comes up with it can't find the file. I take it I need to add some kind of path in order to find my pdf. if it's in the same folder, what should the path say?

Thanks

Ideally you should not have to put a path, however; I remember having to add a
file:: in front of the link. This tells Flash to look for a file on the desktop
instead of a webserver.

ie.
on(press){
getURL("file::my.pdf",blank);
}

I'm not exactly sure if this is it. I will know when I go home to my Mac
tonight.
