Just use the GetUrl command and have the path point to a file instead of a
page. Thats it. Just make sure the path is correct and it should work fine.

button state]

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
