Tim,
I've done this quickly and easily using one of buddyapi's free functions
MOVIE SCRIPT::
global gAcroLoc
on startMovie
set buddyobj=new(xtra "budAPI")
--find the path of acrobat reader through buddy api
gAcroLoc=BaFindApp("pdf")
end
BEHAVIOUR ON YOUR BUTTON::
global gAcroLoc
on mouseUp me
if voidP(gAcroLoc) then
alert" Sorry, your system doesn't appear to have Adobe Acrobat
installed."
--- you can then run the installer if you want, but I'm just keeping it
simple here---
else
open "your_pdf_file" with gAcroLoc
end if
end mouseUp me
Don't forget to put a "go the frame" on your splash screen frame..

Subject: <lingo-l> opening PDF
hello all,
I want to make a simple "splash" screen with a button. if you press that
button a PDF file needs to be opened (in the acrobat reader). does anyone
know how to do this ? (without the PDF xtra). and also, is there a wat to
check the reader is present ?
thanks in advance,
Tim.
