[OT] Downloads [was RE: FLASH: very basic flash question - button state]

[Paul Willoughby]

JGL


This is really OT, but I wonder if you can help. How do I create a download

from a web site like the tutorial you give on the button state? i.e you

click on the link, the open this/save this disk dialog pops up and you save

the file . And more relevant to this list, how would you do it from Flash? 

I feel a bit stupid as this is such a common feature on the web it's got to

be quite straight forward - but having said that when I asked someone who

led a web design course they also didn't seem to have a clue, except

mumbling something unitelligible about javascript. Is it as simple as a link

to an ftp site, or is it more complex than that? Does anyone know of any

tutorials on this subject?


Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but you're all so helpful I know

you won't mind (much!)


Cheers


Paul
