use fsCommand to launch external applications not geturl.

@ saumya - Unfortunately fscommand only works with .exe files. It won't open a pdf.

@ Heliotrope - That should work. Are you sure that is the appropriate path to the pdf file? Does the computer you are testing it out on have Acrobat installed?

Thanks for your reply earlier by the way, I finally got the link working with the following code

on(press){
getURL("TRITON_October_edition_Evaluation", "_blank")
}

However the next button (also to link to a pdf) uses the same code, with a changed name:

on(press){
getURL("ITRITON_October_edition_Evaluation", "_blank")
}

doesn't work, it has the same properties, has an instance name ending in .btn, but when linked and test published it comesw up that the path is not valid, even though I copy and pasted the name.

This is drivng me nuts, really it is!!!!
