FLASH: to see a file online?

[marco berti]

Hi,

I'm Marco,

I have a few (probably simple for most of you) questions about the "world of 

download".

I have a movie made in flash4 and it contains a button for downloading  a 

file. Now, first, I don't know if the file will be .exe or .mov, anyway I'm 

going to zip it so when I click on the button (action: get url) the download 

would start. Is this correct? And then, what if I would see the same file 

online? I mean without downloading it to my computer.

I'm thinking to something like QT file's streaming. Should I have to export 

my file in QT? Then is there an action instead of "get url" to be assigned 

to the button?

And, at last, are ther any differences between Mac and PC? I know that 

there's a different format from zip, for Macs, that's ok, but the rest of 

the process would be the same?

Thank you in advance,

Marco
