Open Data Object - Open File attachment within pdf document

Question

I am trying to build a script which will open file attachments embedded in a pdf document.
I have used the following javascript to list all embedded files within a document so I can retrieve the name
var d = this.dataObjects;
for (var i = 0; i < d.length; i++)
console.println("Data Object[" + i + "]=" + d[i].name);
The console reported:
Data Object[0]=MTP-300-X-1210_A.pdf
Data Object[1]=MTP-300-X-1240_A.pdf
I then used the following script to open the file     
this.openDataObject("MTP-300-X-1210_A.pdf");
Console reports back as follows and does not open the file:
[object Doc]
Can anyone please offer assistance in how to open an embedded pdf attachment within a document?
Many thanks!

Hi George,
I have used the same method app.openDoc to open attachments using a path associated with my computer.  However, as you know, the method does not work if the pdf containing the attachment is located on a different computer.  The app.openDoc method throws an error becuase the path is not valid.
I am trying to get the following code to work with no success:
var cFilePath = "|" + this.path + "|U:photo.pdf"';   // photo.pdf is the attachment
app.openDoc ({cPath: cFilePath});
The debugger throws an error.
However, if I take the content of the variable cFilepath and instert it as an argument within cPath parameter as a string literal, the app.openDoc method returns the docObject.
What's going on here?  shouldn't the variable cFilePath work?  Or do I need to specify a data type for the variable?  Any thoughts would be helpful.  I am using Windows 7, Adobe Acrobat X Standard.
