i ended up doing exactly the same thing - sticking it all in HTML - at
least then you don't have the embarrassment of a flash projector
launching internet explorer or something... there must be a solution but
i have yet to find it, at least for launching .doc files.

the only idea i've had is constructing some sort of file-browser within
the page... not a techie though so i don't know where to start with this...

if you find anything out then i'm interested so let us know...
