got a movieclip :

myMC.onRelease = function():Void{
getURL("http:\\www.someurl.com\aboutme.doc");
}

basically when someone clicks ths i want them to be able download my cv which is in word format.

When i click this in netscape the dialog box opens which asks whether u want to save the word document to disk or open it directly with your application of your choice..this is fine and what i want..

But when i click it in Internet Explorer doesnt give a download/save to disk option..instead it just opens it in the browser window...

How do i get around this.....?? thanks i appreciate any help

Thanks for that quince ... but i was wondering is there no other way to achieve the same objective, seeing since its only 40Kb .. would be nice if they could download it directly as word
