    !HELP! Running PDF from Projector

    Deadline looming...and BIG problem
    I need to run a pdf file in my flash presentation

    I used fscommand on a button with this

    on (release) {
    fscommand("exec", "coursenotes.bat");
    }

    in fscommand folder, named 'fscommand'
    I created a text file that says

    @ echo off
    start FinancialCoursenotes.pdf
    exit

    ...and saved text document as 'coursenotes.bat'
    FinancialCoursenotes.pdf is also in fscommand folder

    This doesnt work for me...
    running MX on XP

    Please HELP!

    Use Get URL and point directly to the .pdf If the reader is installed on the user's machine it will open in the browser.
    While changing my profile, I accidentally clicked the link that said
    "Add 'Dead Rabbit' to your Ignore List"
    so now I can't talk to myself anymore...

    You can also use 3rd party tools to help you with this for a more professional result.

    Check out Flash Studio PRO and you can launch a PDF file using just flashstudio.exec (no need for bat files) and you can also load the PDF directly INSIDE your projector to

    I hope this helps
