still, i would use getURL().
The path given to it can be relative or absolute.
Only it has to be placed in a onRelease statement. Flash access the default browser and if the browser have associated the pdf extension to acrobat reader, it will open it.
i.e.:
Code: [ Select ]
btnDo.onRelease = function()
{
    getURL("D:\\doc\\documentatie2\\Graphic\\PDFs\\test.pdf");
}
  1. btnDo.onRelease = function()
  2. {
  3.     getURL("D:\\doc\\documentatie2\\Graphic\\PDFs\\test.pdf");
  4. }

that's what usually happens when you don't read the help.
from MX2004 help:
Quote:
The exec command can contain only the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, period ()., and underscore (_). The exec command runs in the subdirectory fscommand only. In other words, if you use the fscommand exec command to call an application, the application must reside in a subdirectory named fscommand.
