FLASH: opening pdf from flash

[Saskia G.C. van Doesburg]

Hi all

I want to open a pdf document from a flash movie. I want to click the

button, the acrobat reader opens and the document opens in acrobat reader.

I thought I'd just use the get url action like you do in a html file. If I

test te swf the browser opens, then Acrobat opens (and closes) en then I see

my browser window with the correct url (of the pdf doc) but with no content.

Does anyone have a suggestion, am I doing something wrong?
