    Troubles with Linking PDF and MOVIE files

    Hi,
    I am using Flash MX and have troubles dealing with linked files,
    especially PDF and Quicktime Movie files,
    and wonder if any of you have suggestions.

    I use Mac.
    Actionscript used here is: "on(release)" and "getURL" tag that're applied to buttons.
    There is nothing wrong with script, nor linked files.
    All the files including swf, pdf, and mov files are on the Internet.

    Whenever I click on any of the buttons, it always shows an error message.
    If you want, try www.juridesign.net and click on "PDF RESUME".
    You will get the same message over and over.

    Does any one know the solution for this?

    You seem to have a capital "R" on your Resume folder, and a capital "J" on JuriImamuraResume on the server, but most probably not on your getURL within the Flash movie... 'Cause if I go to http://www.juridesign.net/Resume/JuriImamuraResume.pdf , rather than http://www.juridesign.net/resume/juriImamuraResume.pdf , I get to see it fine...

    One of the reasons you should never use capitals (and/or special characters or spaces...) on file names...

    Thank you oldnewbie...

    Thank you oldnewbie...
    I've never paid attention to capital letters....!

    I've just started learning flash several months ago, and still need an extensive amount of studies before I feel more comfortable using the application.
    But I will try changing the letters and will see if they work!

    Thank you for your suggestion.

    Don't switch them on both (the server and your getURL)! Just make it consistent! And in that sense better not use CAPS in any file name.
