By removing the children for the container you wil keep the memory footprint lower as well. @James

Be sure to remove it from the container otherwise you will have the old PDF as a child behind the new PDF. By removing the children for the container you wil keep the memory footprint lower as well.

Since it does not, unfortunately you cannot apply a string to the pdf.height and pdf.width. They take explicit Numbers to set the width/height. This is why I put in a resize handler function to force the HTMLLoader to resize. -Chris Amit,

I meant you could actually set the pdf.height = "100%"; pdf.width = "100%"; then you don't need a resize handler it should work out of the box My xml was edited. I meant you could actually set the
pdf.height = “100%”;
pdf.width = “100%”;

then you don’t need a resize handler it should work out of the box

In my example simply change: var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost:8080/af_Central/a.pdf"); To: var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost:8080/af_Central/a.pdf#toolbar=0"); That should do the trick. Good luck! FYI, if you want to disable the left panel (Bookmark/Signatures/Layers/pages) you can add navpanes=0 like: var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost:8080/af_Central/a.pdf#toolbar=0&navpanes=0"); You can get the complete parameter list here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf Hi Olayode,

var request:URLRequest =
new URLRequest(”http://localhost:8080/af_Central/a.pdf”);

That should do the trick.
