getURL problems

[Captain.Panic]

I am trying to assign a hyperlink to a button in a flash movie (CS4) that will open a local pdf file in a new browser window. I'm using the script:

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

The file "Resume.pdf" is in the same folder as as the swf file, on a CD.
It compiles with no errors, but when I click on the button, IE opens with a blank page and "http://resume.pdf/" in the address bar, in other words it is interpreting it as an HTTP URL and not a local filename.

How do I point it to the local file?

Thanks

I dont thing this is possible using AS2 alone.
As3 has a load and save option for other format files and may be possible there there are ways round though.
The following site has a download available for viewing pdfs from flash so you could use than and call in the pdf to that and that swf to a MC in your movie.

Other options a fscommand, using VB.

I may be wrong but searching around thats all I can find.
