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

[JGL]

Hi Paul,


Most OS's, when they see certain extension like .exe or .zip coupled with

http, will spawn the download dialog. It really is simply putting a get URL

action to a button in Flash.


Try this link:

http://designthenet.com/tutes/buttonstate/buttonstate.zip


Notice, it's only a url.


It's that simple! No ftp. The zipped file is in the folder. That's all :)

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 .
