PDF inside FLEX APPLICATION?

Question

My goal is to open a document pdf in a flex application.
My document pdf is generated by using the library itext and an action struts.I used flex-iframe but the iframe source receives a path fixed like "http://localhot:9090:/applicationTest/exemple.pdf".
have you any ideas?
This is the exeample of  index.mxml when I use flex -iframe with a fixed path of pdf document
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
                xmlns:local="*"
                creationComplete="init();"
                viewSourceURL="srcview/index.html">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            private function init():void
                iFrame.visible=true;
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:HBox width="100%" height="100%">
        <mx:Panel width="100%" height="100%" title="Test PDF" paddingTop="1" paddingBottom="1" paddingLeft="1" paddingRight="1" >
            <local:IFrame id="iFrame" source="http://localhot:9090:/applicationTest/exemple.pdf" width="100%" height="100%" />
            <mx:ControlBar>
                <mx:CheckBox id="cbVisible" label="IFrame Visible" selected="true" click="iFrame.visible=cbVisible.selected"/>
                </mx:ControlBar>
        </mx:Panel>
    </mx:HBox>
</mx:Application>
This is the example of code that is failed:--> the pdf document is opened in the other window of browser:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
                 xmlns:local="*"
                 creationComplete="init();"
                 viewSourceURL="srcview/index.html">
    <mx:Script>
         <![CDATA[
             private function init():void
                 iFrame.visible=true;
         ]]>
     </mx:Script>
     <mx:HBox width="100%" height="100%">
        <mx:Panel width="100%" height="100%" title="Test PDF" paddingTop="1" paddingBottom="1" paddingLeft="1" paddingRight="1" >
             <local:IFrame id="iFrame" source="http://localhost:9090/ApplicationTest/gi/printAction.do?method=printConfirmation&id=OTY" width="100%" height="100%" />
             <mx:ControlBar>
                 <mx:CheckBox id="cbVisible" label="IFrame Visible" selected="true" click="iFrame.visible=cbVisible.selected"/>
                 </mx:ControlBar>
         </mx:Panel>
    </mx:HBox>
</mx:Application>
this is the action that generate the pdf document : "http://localhost:9090/ApplicationTest/gi/printAction.do?method=printConfirmation&id=OTY"
Thanks

Hello,
Maybe you can use NavigateToURL like:
navigateToURL( new URLRequest( 'example.pdf), '_new' )"
