Linking to a PDF (why won't it work on a Mac?)

Hi
I'm sure this shouldn't be a problem but it is.. I've
recently made a simple standalone SWF in a projector format.
It contains a button which links to a PDF .. on (release) {
getURL("cd/manual.pdf");
On PC this works fine (although it does open in a web browser
rather than Acrobat). On Mac this link does nothing except open
Firefox which refuses to open the PDF.
The PDF themselves are fine and if clicked on at the source
just fire up Acrobat (in Mac and PC).
Anyone know if it's possible to force a file to open in a
certain App? It doesn't sound very likely!
THANKS!!

  • Why won't FF4 work on my Mac 0s X 10.4.11 version?

    I can download the new FF4 but when I try to open it, I get the message that my Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not support the program.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

  • Can't update ADOBE after many attempts. Why won't it work?

    Keep getting messages saying I must update ADOBE. Keep following directions for update.

    Hello fiddle4dee, probably you mean adobe flash player, the latest flash version for your Intel Mac OS X 10.6 today is the 16.0.0.296. If you have a previous version then uninstall it with the :
    * http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    after that you can install the latest from the next link :

  • ITunes says my computer isn't authorized to play one song, but all the rest of them work. The song works on my iPad so why won't it work on my computer or my iPod?

    iTunes says my computer isn't authorized to play one of the songs I just downloaded, but all the rest of them work. That song works on my iPad so why won't it work on my computer or my iPod? It says my computer isn't authorized to play that song so I type in my password and it pops up with a menu saying my computer is already authorized and it skips to the next song. No matter what I do it won't play that song on my laptop or my iPod.

    Could be a Corrupt download of that song...
    If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
    Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

  • Functions in a For Loop defining objects from an Array. . .Why Won't This Work?!

    I'm trying to put these functions into a Loop to conserve
    space. Why won't this work?
    .

    Yeah, sly one is right. You can not have the "i" inside the
    onRollOver function, what you have to do is: As the movieClip class
    is dynamic you can create a property of the movieClip which stores
    the value if the "i". And then, inside the onRollOver function, you
    have to make reference to that property.
    for (i=0; i<2; i++) {
    this.regArray
    .iterator = i;
    this.regArray.onRollOver = function () {
    showRegion(regArray[this.iterator]);
    this.regArray
    .onRollOut = function () {
    hideRegion(regArray[this.iterator]);

  • FM Transmitter used to work fine but stopped working, bought 2 new ones and neither work, they work with other Ipods in the house, IPOD Usb syncs fine with Computer, why won't it work with the FM transmitters anymore?

    FM Transmitter used to work fine but stopped working, bought 2 new ones and neither work, they work with other Ipods in the house, IPOD Usb syncs fine with Computer, why won't it work with the FM transmitters anymore?

    Are the other iPods models, same version as yours. The 2 New FM Tx may need a new iPod software, which you can update via iTunes.
    Good Luck!

  • I just downloaded Acrobat and it won't work. Why won't it work? I keep having it quit unexpectedly when I try to launch it.

    I just downloaded Acrobat and it won't work. Why won't it work? I keep having it quit unexpectedly when I try to launch it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've tried restarting my computer.  Any suggestions? I fit all they system requirements.

    Hi again CueBallMcDraw,
    What operating system are you on? If your issue isn't related to your subscription being in a pending state (as I discussed in your other post), we'll look closer at what's going on with your system. But, I suspect you're going to be fine once your order finishes processing.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Why won't YouTube work on any of my computers?

    why won't YouTube work on any of my computers?

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
