Downloading Pdf


I am working on a flash project for cd-rom presentation, not website. I want the user to be able to click on a link to download a pdf onto their hard drive from the cd.

What Action would I apply to get this to work correctly? I tried using the "get url" and just type in the file name, .pdf, saved in the same folder as the flash swf file, but it didn't work.

Any suggestions??

Downloading And Using Fla**** FLA's
When downloading FLA's from Flashkit to learn how other do things an error occurs when opening the file.

The error is:
"This document contains embedded objects that were created for Microsoft Windows version of Flash. These embedded objects must be deleted before opening on the Macintosh."

We are running Flash 4. This error occurs with all downloads. We have also checked to make sure we are downloading Flash 4 files - which we are when getting the error.

Is there a way to open FLA files on a Mac?

Downloading .swi
I know this is a dumb question but: I read a lot of posts that says one way to learn SWiSH is to dowload the .swi files and open them and analyze them but for some reason I can't figure out how to do this. I've looked at the help is SWiSH but can't find anything on this topic. So when someone posts their .swi file (http://www.domain.com/something.swi) how do I save it to disk to check it out?

Thanks,
LTH

Downloading PDF
Am I drawing a blank? I can't figure out how to create a link that would allow the user to download a PDF (ie., a job application). As of right now, I'm embedding my flash website into dreamweaver pages and I have the button scripted as "get url http://www.employmentform.pdf
BUT I'm thinking it may need to be ....www.site name.com/employmentform.pdf
Am I on the right track or is there an easier way?

Thanks!

I am trying to download some of the flash movies to enter into a Web site building program so I can include them in my Web site. I am told I do not want to download an FLA file for a flash movie; only a shockwave file. However, I cannot find a way on this site to avoid downloading the FLA files for each of these flash movies. And when I download the entire movie I am unable to delete the FLA file.

Can anyone help me please.

Hi Flashers!!

I'm having a problem....again.
I am trying to create a page on my website where viewers can listen to an mp3 and/or download it.
My problem is...I can't get the mp3 to download!!!

This is what I did:

I zipped my mp3's and put them in the same folder as the website SWF and HTML.
I created a download button and added the following action to it -

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.thepartymoon.com/Party Moon.zip");
}

I checked spelling and spaces and everything already.
When I view the SWF, the download button does nothing. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Any advice?

Thanks!!!

Downloading Pdf
I am working on a flash projector file that will be distributed on CD. One of the functions it needs to be capable of is download pdfÕs. They will be contained on the CD but the target audience will most likely not be able to under that they should go in to the folder to retrieve the file.

So to make it easy they should be able to click a link and had the file go to their desktop, or where ever they like, and open it's self up in acrobat or equivalent.

What must I do? I have tried get URL but that does not produce the desired result. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Ok, I have a link to a movie in one of my flash files. When you click the link, the movie loads in media player. I don't want it to do this so i can save bandwidth. Is there anyway to make it so when you click the link, it makes you save the movie instead of play it immediatly?

Downloading Mp3's
Hi all,

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I didn't see any posts for it.

I would like to know how I would make mp3's downloadable from my flash site. I dont just want them to stream, I would like to make them actually downloadable so people can have them on their comps. So please give me a hand ya'll. I would greatly appreciate. I have a feeling it has to do with setting a behavior but I'm not to sure...

Thx,

Pre-downloading
I have a Flash intro page that is followed by a flash website. I am wondering if there is any code I can use to initiate the downloading of the website while the intro page is being viewed? If there is a way to do this is the code simple to insert on an actions layer of the website?

I'm also wondering if there is a way to send browsers that don't have the Flash player to an HTML (or CSS, whatever) portion of the site? I don't just want to send them a message saying they should download Flash player. I want a jump to another URL.

Downloading .pdf
I am trying to let the user download a .pdf from my site. I am using the following script which i took from the example in the help section but i don't want to use the web. By this, I mean, i want to use the "./folder/file.pdf".

import flash.net.FileReference;

var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference) {
trace("onComplete : " + file.name);
}

var url:String = "./folder/file.pdf";
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.addListener(listener);
fileRef.download(url, "name.pdf");
}

It seems that unless I put http in the string then I don't get the 'save' window up at all.
I don't understand why i can stream movies using the ./ method and this one doesn't work.
Please help me. This is driving me madder than i already am.
thanks

Mp3 Downloading
I have a volume slider bar and want the mp3 to download from a site. see this for what I am trying out for starters: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/volume_slider.htm

Can someone hook me up with the code to get the mp3 to DL?

I looked at the tutorials at kirupa and they left me hanging. I checked out the help areas and found this:

The following example loads an event sound:

my_sound.loadSound( "http://serverpath:port/mp3filename", false); However, when I added my own url/93.mp3 and tried to publish preview it, Iwas left with the file path in IE running to my C drive rather than thelocation on the server. What am I missing?

Downloading SWF's
Hi everyone! I'm still trying to figure out how to post my Flash creations on my web site so that that others can download them to their hard drive, like the free tutorials that many Flash sites offer. I got as far as knowing that i need to use a zip file but what is that? Do I need to buy something for that, like zip software or something? How do I get my Flash stuff into a zip file and then post it on my site to be downloadable. I'm stuck on this and nobody around me can answer this, including my Flash teacher! . I thank you for help!

Hi all,

Happy new year!

I have a problem with my site because I want to have a button that makes a file download. The files are wmv/avi's etc... but people are finding that the files just open and try to stream in whatever player. A 42mb file is not good streaming...

I am currently just using a getURL("path to file"); command on the button. Is their a way I can make it bring up the same box as when you do a 'right-click/save as' on a html link.

Is this possible from within flash?

Thanks folks.

Gaz.

MP3 Downloading
I created a MP3 Player which works fine! anyway I'm trying to make it possible for the user to download the MP3 that they are hearing! I'm trying to use the following code

Code:

var MP3_url ="MP3/";
import flash.net.FileReference;
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();

b2.onRelease = downloadMP3();  // simple download button

function downloadMP3()
{
var myfileName:String = (dl_mp3Name[trackIndex]);
var myFile = (MP3_url + curBook +"/"+ myfileName);
      fileRef.download(myFile);
      
}
more info
myfileName is an Array of the current track
myFile contains the URL of the MP3

Results:
this does open a download dialog box, but doesn't actually download anything!

I even used the complete URL for it ex.. http:// and I also trace the whole path which does point to the MP3 file, but no luck!

thank you guys in advance!
