downloading files from flash ...

[Simon Turner]

Hi All

Its not really a major issue for you guys but still one that has knobbled me (yet again) ....

I have a Flash file, with a image of the JPEG that I would like people, who are browsing the website, to be able to download to their HD, but do you think I can work out what the code is i need to attach to the button to get the darn thing 'downloading' ..... nope .... Mr Thicky strikes again!! :rolleyes:


Please give me a clue ... well the answer would be even better as I need to publish this thing fairly soon.

Thanks People :)
Simon

... if know one has any ideas - I am going to have to use the horrible 'drag n drop' method via a HTML page that pops up on release!! Looks vile though - would rather be able to do this via a link within flash.

Have PDF files that would be just as good for downlaoding if this makes it any different?

Just zip the jpeg and then use getURL to the path of the zip when the user clicks the button. Certain file types which the broswer recognises, it will open (mp3, jpeg etc) so use a zip to open a download.

That help? :D
