RE: FLASH: how to download PDF or word documents from Flash?

[Sohrab Pirayesh]

Hey Tor,


I have never had any problems downloading pdf and word files from flash.


I simply put the name and directory of the file in the GEtURL action, and

make the target _blank. I don't know what you are doing differently?


What happens when you click on the button? Do you get anything? A 404 error?


If you elaborate I might be able to help you.

I need to make a button in Flash, where people can download a PDF or Word

documents.

This use to work fine from HTML in Dreamweaver, but it does not work in

Flash (putting in the name of the Doc in the get URL action).
