Q:
How do I link a button to an Adobe PDF document?
A: In Flash MX as well as flash MX 2004 and Flash 8, a hyperlink is
created through the getURL() command. The getURL() command provides a means for the browser to jump
from one page to the other. The getURL() command can also be used to open an executable application
like a PDF document. Click
"Window" and choose
“Actions” or press
"F9" on your keyboard to access the Actions panel. You
should type the following action script provided below into the white space to open up an
executable PDF file:
on (release)
{
getURL("http://www.yoursitename.com/mydoc/doc1.pdf");
}
Now test your movie by pressing
"CTRL+ENTER".
