Linking PDF to Flash

I'm still a newbie at this, so pleasse bear with me. I have a links page on a website for myself. I wish to create a link from a hidden button over the text to a pdf file within the project folder. I keep getting errors saying that it cant find the file and points to an address which is totally wrong. This is the code I am using
stop();
var marriages:URLRequest = new URLRequest("marriagesStPauls1837_85.pdf");
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(marriages, "_blank");
btSaintPaulBurial1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
This is the message that I get.
can't find the file at /C|/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Temp/marriagesStPauls1837_85.pdf.
Is this the right way to link a pdf file to flash?
Is there some other code I should be using?

Hi,
getURL and navigateToURL both with work only in browser becoz it navigate to some other url or other files.

Help linking pdf in flash for multimedia cd

For some reason my link to a pdf in an exe for a CD designed
in flash doesn't work- Is there a special trick to this now?
Any help would be greatly appreciated....

I visited the site on Firefox, but I don't see any flash on
the home page. On Safari, I can see it - so first things first -
you need to embed the Flash so it works across all broswers. You
can use swfObject for this - as it is now the standard and Adobe
has adopted it for Dreamweaver CS4.

For AS3, you need to add code to link to the specific URL -
and you can find a pretty good tutorial for that here:

Link to a page in a pdf from flash

I am trying to link from a flash site to a specific page of a
30 page PDF and have had no luck.
I can open the PDF with a getUrl but can not have the PDF
open to the page I need.

I've been trying to figure something like this out for days.
What I want to create is a CD that will have many PDF files that
are accessed with a Flash interface. I have been struggling with
getting the PDF files to link to a button. Online files with
complete http addresses work, but I need this to be a stand alone
CD version. So far getURL does not work for this. Anyone ever try
something like this? I don't care how the PDF files opens. In a
browser window is fine and so is in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Thanks

Is there a way to open another pdf via a button in my (pdf embedded) flash movie?

My Acrobat 9 pro pdf, contains an ActionScript 2.0 swf, added via the Flash tool, on the multimedia toolbar.
The Flash file contains an animation introducing a collection of linked pdf files.
At the end of the intro a button appears, which when clicked, should replace the current pdf with one of the linked ones.
Is it possible to do this inside actobat?
Regards Maxwell

Thank you. That’s all I need to know.

Opening external pdf from flash exe

I've looked around the site and I havent found anything
refering to this.
I'm creating an Interface in flash which will browse through
a list of pdfs. This interface will be published on a CD-ROM for
distribution.
How do I launch the pdfs directly from a link in the flash
exe? Since it is not playing within a browser I can't use getURL.
It's been years since I've had to do this, and the last time
I used the fsCommand to launch an exe file created in Director
which would in turn open the pdf file. I'm hoping there is a better
solution.
Thanks for reading this!

Downloadble PDF in Flash

I was just wondering if there was anyone out there who knows
how to make a downloadable pdf in flash.
thanks in advance!

Take a look at the FileReference Class. This will allow you
to click on a link and then open a Save dialogue so you can save
the pdf on your computer.

Can I stop Windows 7 from warning about security on every linked PDF?

I am working on a project for which I have created one central document (an index) and 120 linked documents. Each document, on every page, has links to the next alphabetical document and back to the central index. This project will be distributed on disc to people with unknown computer platforms.
I am a Mac user, and this works well on my iMac using Adobe Reader. It also works on my ancient Windows XP machine. A tech friend has looked the project over, and he says that on Windows 7 (used by more than half of computer users), every time a document links to a new document, Windows 7 throws up a warning about PDF security hazards. With a large number of documents to open, this could be tiresome.
Is there a way to stop Windows 7 from warning about security on every linked PDF?
This tech person recommends joining all the PDFs into one file (around 50 MB by his estimate), which would require relinking every current link.
Acrobat offers to do the same with its Portfolio, but I'm not fond of the graphic styles offered, and I worry that one large file might be a challenge for older machines.
Any suggestions?

Can you get a screen shot of this error message or at least the exact wording? I suspect the error message is being displayed by Reader/Acrobat and not Windows.

Is it possible to change the page of a linked PDF without relinking?

Is it possible to change the page of a linked PDF without relinking and going through the import options?
I'm trying to import seveeral pages of the same PDF. The process would be quickest if I could import it once, then duplicate the image box a number of times, then just change the page number each image box is linking to.
At the moment I'm having to relink (or place), then go through Import Options, then choose the page - it's a long process that feels like it should be quicker.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The short answer is no, that's not possible, but it IS possible to import multiple pages at one time.
My favorite script for this is from Scott Zanelli: InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files, but there's also a sample script included with ID.

Linked PDFs do not open in AIR help window

I am creating a help system in RoboHelp 10 and outputting it as AIR help. The help topics include links to several PDF documents, which are stored locally (they are not on a server or Web site). When I click any of the links in the AIR help window, however, the window goes blank; the content from the PDF does not appear. No other windows open, either. How can I get the content from the linked PDFs to appear in the AIR help window? Thanks!

Have you tried including the PDFs in Baggage Files?
I'm not sure that is necessary without testing but it's worth a try. Post back to let us know whether or not that works.

Adobe Reader not opening PDF Portfolio - Flash player error

I have Acrobat 9 Standard installed on my PC and I created a PDF Portfolio. Acrobat Standard can open that Portfolio just fine.
I also have Acrobat Reader installed (11.0.2).and have Adobe Flash Player (11.7.700.169) installed. Both Reader and Flash Player work fine independently on PDF or Flash content.
However when I try to open the PDF portfolio with Reader, I get the following Error:
:"To view the Flash technology in this FDF file; please install this version of Flash player that supports Adobe reader and Acrobat".
The Dialog box with the message above has a [Proceed to download page] button (which does nothing but bring up Reader with a black page), a [Learn more] button (similar behavior), and a [Cancel] button. Both Reader and Flash are the latest versions as of today (4/16/2013).
Any help or insight with this is appreciated.
Thanks !
Bruce Dana.

Can't open PDF with flash after upgrade Reader 10.1.5 and Flash player 11.5.502.146

We rolled out Reader 10.1.5 and Flash 11.5.502.146 [Windows 7] this week and discovered that one can not view a PDF containing Flash content.
We receive the message "To view the Flash Technology content in this PDF file, please install the required version of Flash Player".
According to the Adobe Reader Blog "As mentioned in Three Common Adobe Reader and Acrobat Security Questions, unknown Flash will now be rendered by the system Flash Player (NPAPI version), when using Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.1.5. Note: This has already been done for Reader and Acrobat 11. As stated before, this means that Adobe Reader/Acrobat users will no longer have to update Adobe Reader/Acrobat each time we update the Flash Player."
How could we resolve the problem?

Why do I have to remove Adobe Acrobat in order to link pdf files using Preview?

Whenever I try to link pdfs to make a single file, Adobe Acrobat opens automatically and prevents me from linking them, instead demanding that I pay money for a subscription. Instead, I have to remove Adobe, at which point I can open Preview, and then I can link the files.
Is there any way to link documents without having to remove and then reinstall Adobe?
I have an iMac 10.6.8 and the latest Adobe that will install.

Fail to print pdf with flash(updated)

Hi, all,
I open a pdf with flash in adobe reader.
I want to print it, but it doesn't get the result as what I see in adobe reader.
It seems that the flash has an animation, and the printer capture the image before the animation is finished.
Did I post the discussion in the right forums?
And if you need more information, tell me please.
Thanks

You asked in the correct forum, but it appears that no-one knows the answer.
I know that there were some problems printing Flash content, but I do not know how Flash Player integrates into Adobe Reader - if it uses the installed plugin, or if it uses its own plugin.
