Any thoughts?

How To Download A File?
Hi there,

Can somebody please tell me the script that enables the user to download a file?

I think I need to use getURL, but I don't know the proper scripting?

The web site is hosted on my local hard drive and the file is in the same location as the swf.

File Download
I need help trying to download a file using flash.
I have tried using this:
[code]var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.xml");
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.download(request);/CODE]

But when the window comes up to save the file to you hard drive and I click save it saves nothing. The File is on the server and it is pointed to the right file. It just won't save anything.

Is there a different way to do this? Or should I use XML and flash? What is the easiest way to do this?

Thanks,
Tony

File Download
I'm trying to download a zip file through Flash via a php file using this code:

FLASH:
getURL("download.php?filename=TheFileName.zip");

PHP:
<?php
// download.php

$file = $_GET['filename'];
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$file");
readfile($file);
?>

Trouble is when I run Flash, the dialog box for the download just picks up the php file and not the zip file. I have searched all forums for the answer to this problem without success but have found numerous examples using the above code so I just can't see what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I am making a site for a client.
They want to be able to upload videos and also have the viewer be able to download the video.
But...they want to be able to add the videos / files to download themselves.

I was going to use an xml video player component, so I figure it will be fairly easy for the client to add or take away videos.
But I'm not sure how to set it up so that the client can add a link that will automatically download a file?

Any ideas?

Swf File In Netscape And It Wants To Download
Newbie question here.

I just created a html file use frames, in my frames I point to a swf file to play my Flash item. While testing in different browsers, it works fine in IE, but when I view it in Netscape 4.7 and 6.1, I get an window that states "You have chosen to download a file of the: "Flash Player Movie" [application/x-shockwave-flash] from..." It then gives me the option to "open using ShockwaveFlash" or to "Save to Disk". I chose open and it plays my file in a Flash player window.

Is there any additional html code that I can add to my file to be sure that it plays fine in both browsers?

It works fine when I point to the html code that was created when I published my file, as my source file for my frame. The only problem here is that it does not scale when the browser is scaled.

Thank you in advance.

? Save/download File ?
Hi,

can someone help me with this one ?
I want to make a button in flash which does the same as a right-click "save-target as" on a href link.
I have tried the following code:

Code:
on (press) {
getURL (_root.Url=("http://www.???.com/???"));
}

However, this code does not show a messagebox for downloading the file (instead, it tries to embed the file in the browserwindow).

Has anyone experience in this matter ?
Thanks in advance,
