Does anyone know how to launch pdf from flash with a mac? I don't want the pdf document to open in a browser window (no getUrl). I can do this with a pc but not the mac. Is it possible.

There's no easy way.
The reason that the PC downloads it and the Mac displays it is most likely because the Mac has the Reader Browser plug-in installed and the PC doesn't.
For best results, try popping up an HTML window with a link to the PDF that says "To download, right-click the link (PC) or control-click it (Mac) and choose 'Download Link to Disk'."

launching pdf's from flash
There is a way to launch a pdf from flash, it's a bit time consuming.
You need to open Applescript, start recording, then open the pdf that you require, close the pdf, go back to applescript stop recording and save as a classic applet.
Then in flash create a button, assign an fscommand to the button,
Command field should be "exec"
Argument field should be–title of script
Good Luck

This may have been confusing - it depends on if you're opening a pdf with a swf online or on the user's hard drive (or CD-ROM)
Do my suggestion if it's online, or me2222's or dooly's if it's on the computer.

you might try compressing the file ie. zip, the file the browser should then prompt to save to disc

forgot to say GetUrl ("yourfile.zip")
