Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows how to create a button action that will open a pdf file in a separate window?

Thanks!

You can actually use this actionscript for any url (.html,.pdf,.jpg,etc.).
Just add this to your button:

on(release){
getURL("yourdocument.pdf", "_blank");
}

The quotes contain the URL you are wanted to hit. If your pdf is in the root
folder, leave the location as is. If it is elsewhere, for example, you would
need to put "http://www.thiswebsite.com/folder/anotherdocument.pdf" The
"_blank" is telling the event to load in a new (blank) window.
