opening pdf files on top of interface

Yes- It worked great! I sent out the CD Yesterday.I can't wait to spend more time learning all SWF Studio can do. I was just curious about the .bat file method - I always hated that ugly black box!!
Thanks so much!

First up, thanks to Northcode for posting the solutions to opening word docs. Now I've been trying to address the pdfs-opening-behind problem and I have a few questions...

What do I do with the 'topmost.exe' file? I have put it in the fscommand folder, but only because there's nothing in the thread to say where to put it.

Also, does 'topmost.exe' need to be re-named to match the pdf name or left as is? And does the "pdf" part of the fscommand in flash have to be changed to the pdf name?

Does Northcode's post (featuring the bat file to make Acrobat open in front) supercede the 'topmost.exe' solution?

Sorry for all the questions, but I've tried everything I can think of.

Put all the files in the ZIP file (from the post above) in a folder called fscommand. Put your own projector in the same folder where the fscommand folder is. Your projector should call fscommand("exec", "test.exe") and that should open the test.pdf file in the fscommand folder.

I think my problem is similar to Heidi Vandy's...

I have a new cd executed full-screen Flash projector which works well.

BUT, now I want it to be able to launch websites from this EXE.

It works OK to click on a button and do something like this:

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.website.com", "_blank");
}

That will open a website and put the browser in front of the Flash projector which is good.

BUT, if the user already has a browser open then it does not work! In that case, the websites I launch just load in the background behind the full screen interface.

Any ideas? Would topmost or something help with this?
