open pdf from Flash projector

open pdf from Flash projector

Hi all

I thought for sure that I could open a pdf file from a Flash Player or
projectopr, not within a browser by using--

function map() {
getURL("campmap.pdf","_new");
trace("test");
}

It seems that this only works from a browser.  Is there any way to do this.  
In Authorware, there is a pdf extra that launches a pdf in acrobat. There is
an fscommand() exec function that launches an exe  but will not open a specific
file within the exe.  Is there any way to do this in Flash.  This has to be
PC and MAC compatible.

Any help will be appreciated

TIA

Allan
