Downloadable MP3's

[dangerclaes]

Hejsa.

I know this issue has been brougt up a number of times (I just spend the last while reading my "search-forum"-results), but I can't seem to find the sollution.

I want to make a download MP3 button in my movie. If I just use getURL(filename.mp3) the mp3 plays in the users browser.

What I want is, the mp3 to be downloaded to the users machibe (like when you rightclick->"save target as..." in html).

Does anyone know how to do this?
I figure I should make a html pop-up with a javascript in it, but I can't figure out how.

Appreciate it!

Um... What if you ZIP the MP3 file??? ZIP file always gets to see the dialog box... Not the best, but it is a good option you might want to try... :)

Thanks.

I know that's an option, but I don't think, it is the most user friendly way to do it.

Isn't there another way to do it.

Thanks - Claes

Yup... That is not most user friendly way to do the job... But if there is no way of changing the MIME type on user's computer, you cannot have MP3 file downloaded to user's computer... As long as I know of, there isn't a way to do it... :(

if you make a button that uses the URL of the mp3 to be downloaded it will bring up that dialog for all but winXP users, maybenot ME im not sure. But it will stream in XP and i cant figure out how to stop that yet. just use the onpress and geturl maybe and see how that works.
