I'm trying to open a .pdf file by using a button in Actionscript 3. When searching the web on how to do this I kept coming across the getURL code that is used in Actionscript 2.

function pdfresume(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var targetURL:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("amarayresume.pdf")
;
navigateToURL (targetURL);
}
pdfresume.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pdfresume);

I keep getting the error Scene1, Layer 'actions', Frame 1
function pdfresume(event:MouseEvent):void

and it says that 2 times reports 4 errors.

I can't get the .pdf in my library, everytime I try to import it the program won't let me import the file so is there a way to have the button go to the external file of my resume? Thanks for any help!!!

You can't make the instance name of your button the same as the name of the function. Try setting the instance name of your button to something different, like resume_but.

resume_but.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pdfresume);
