Re: FLASH: PDF's in Flash

[Gregg Caines]

I wrote a program a little while back that opens documents with their

default program.  Assuming Acrobat is installed, you can use the

program to get Flash to open PDFs.  Of course, if Acrobat is not

installed, it won't work.  You'll have to make Acrobat a requirement

of your user if you want to use PDFs.  You can probably put it on

your CD with your presentation, and at the beginning of the

presentation, have a button to install it if the user doesn't have it.

If you're having trouble picturing how you'll actually do all this, make

sure you understand FSCommands for projectors...particularly 'Exec'.


The program's called 'runner' if you're interested:
