How do you make a download link in flash?

I have try get url command and put point it to the file. but it doesn't seem to work.

Here is how to do it.

example: you have a map with your flash and another map called "mapname" and there is a file named "filename.extension".

The you want to get the filename.extension from your flash. You use the GetUrl command from flash and you start with the mapname then a "slash" ( forward or backward find it out ) the the filename.extension

like this: geturl(mapname/filename.extension

or as another example: geturl(flash/tutorial.zip)

so don't start with a "slash" ( / )

by the wat are you using windows ? Because I do and I don't know if it works on the mac or another platform, but I do think so.

getURL(path) should work.

geturl must have adouble slash:

geturl("flash//tutorial.zip")

Oh is that new in flash 5 ?

I mostly us flash 4 which the double slash isn't needed.
