Hi

I've spent the best part of the day on the web reading forums about this problem. I have a Flash Projector, Mac and PC format on a hybrid CD. I've done lots of these in the past and no problem. This one has a lot of links to pdfs that sit on the disc also. I've also got it to autorun on the PC, it opens fine and when I click on the pdf link, it opens IE and asks where I want to save the file, no problems. On the Mac it is also fine when the default browser is Safari.

However, when I run it on a Mac using Firefox it returns an error, it can't locate the pdf. Apparently this is a bug/issue in Firefox and it also happens to PC users with that browser.

I'm using the simple geturl command and I've seen lots of people suggest the fscommand but that's a bit beyond me. Also this disc was on it's way to the duplicators and I'm up against time now, does anyone know of a quick fix?

This is my code from one button to one pdf:
on (release) {
getURL("Quality.pdf", "_parent");
}
I've tried without parent and also using blank. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks

Crazy

I tried the same CD this morning that didn't work last night and it works!!

Not sure how to label this as resolved?

click the button in your first post that says "edit" and next to the subject line at the top is a drop down menu, select resolved from that and save changes.
