Calling external .PDF from Projector file (.exe)

[theRiver]

Guys,

I hate to be that guy who asks redundant questions, so I do apologize. I read through this thread and, although it seems to apply very closely to my situation, I could not help myself!

My problem: I am distributing a Flash program (Projector, .exe) via CD. The "mother" file is called main.exe; it calls several other *.SWF files from a local folder called "swf". (I'm a simple guy..) There are also external JPEG images used in the program. Naturally the pictures are compressed in the SWF files and therefore lose quality.

I want the user to be able to click a button in the program and open a .PDF or .JPG file, separate from the program itself. That way, they can save the file, print it, email it, etc.

I'm sure this exact question has been asked before, so again I apologize for the redundancy. If you guys would point me to another thread that deals with my situation more accurately, or take the time to show me specifically, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot,


theRiver
