This one should be easy, but I could sure use some help.

I am working on a projector that needs to be Mac/PC compatible. I have a
button that very simply opens a PDF. I have others that open webpages. The
thing is that all of these links direct to sub-folders on the CD, namely
"documents".

Here is an example:
on (release) {
getURL("documents/RN - Where to Find the Next Generation of
Teachers.pdf","_blank");
}

So it works on a PC, but not on a Mac. I know that there is that whole ::
vs. /, with OSX having switched to UNIX style paths, so why doesn't the
above work? It says it can't find the file/path.

Thanks in advance!
