How To Open The Download Window In Flash?
Hello all,
I am making a flash project with photos - videos and many things like that.
I would like to be able to have a download button on every picture for example.
I only know the getURL("Image1.jpg", "_blank"); function
But this is not the way i like it cause it opens the image or other into a new window.
I want to be able to download it and not see it in a new window...
Is there a way even with php connection to open this download window when i choose to download something from flash project? ?
Does anyone knows something about it ?
Thanx in advance

Download Window Or Forced Download Instead Of Quicktime / Wmp
Hello Forum!-
I have been building my website in flash and have a simple question that I cannot figure out for some reason (maybe its too simple) . Anyhow I have uploaded my mp3 songs of my music and used the geturl and _blank so that when someone clicks on my link the music opens right into thier quicktime player (if on mac) or windows media player (if on pc). I want the user to be able to download the mp3 to there computer (ie like a normal download window appears stating "do you want to download this file to disk" is there some other code or line I need to add ???? It seems so simple? I would really appreciate the help as I have tried a number of things with no success. I have seen that I have to use FileReference but I do not completely understand it
here is what i currently have which is not working... I have a button that I created and placed this in the action within the button
import flash.net.FileReference;
var gettheFile = "http://www.someURL.com/someFolder/mysong.mp3";
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
function givemetheFile(){
fileRef.download(gettheFile, 'mysong.mp3')
}
yourButton_mc.onRelease = function(){
givemetheFile();
}
any suggestions help or solutions would really help me thanks!

Open Pdf Files Causing IE Window To Open And Crash
On a macintosh OSX, when trying to open a pdf using:
getURL(./somePDF.pdf")
this command opens a pdf document correctly but also opens Internet Explorer. Sometimes this causes a problem because it crashes IE and forces it to quit.
Is there a way to open PDF documents using flash that doesn't open an IE browser window on mac OSX?

Help Link To Download PDF (not Open)
Hi, I am trying to setup a link for users to download a PDF from my site. Does anyone know if there is a way to force a download dialogue box, instead of having the PDF open in a new window. I've been using the GetURL to do this.
I have looked everywhere, and only found this:
http://www.informit.com/guides/conte...ash&seqNum=342
But when I try to do it, there are errors, and its way above me to fix. Any help is much appreciated.
PS - I'm trying to do this because for some very weird reason, when it opens now in the new window, Acrobat just crashes (no clue why, but it does on all computers -- I've tested on 5). Thanks.

How To Force Links To Download, Not Open
Hi
Interesting problem I'm having - I have some regular flash buttons linking to word files, text files, PDFs etc. Currently I've set the getURL to open in a new _blank window, but ideally I'd like a 'save as' dialogue to open when the user clicks the link.
I'd be happy to let the user click or right click as in html, but of course in flash that option isn't available.
I'm aware of a php method that alters the header information to make the browser think it's an application, and thereby download rather than open, but I'm wondering if anyone can think of a cleaner way?
thanks in advance,
Toby

Howto: Download Or Open Files
Hey people!
I'm new on flash programming and I'd like to download a file from the internet. I'm a pretty experiences Visual Basic programmer and know that in VB I would use the Inet object, wich with the action Inet1.OpenURL(URL) downloads the source of the URL, so not a complete HTML file but the insides of that file, and that is what I want, because I need to download a text file from a server...

Closing Browser With Download Stream Open
Is there a way to stop the download - no, let me rephrase that - there *has* to be a way to stop a downloading stream when the user closes the window. Right now, closing the window pops an error message window (debugger version of the flashplayer) and locks up any remaining tabs in the browser.
I am sure this can't be an "oh well - live with it" so there must be a way to see that event and stop the stream. Anyone point me in the right direction?

Open A New Browser Window And Go To Frame(n) In The New Window
Hi I need some help.
I'm trying to load a new html file that contains a movie but I like to specify to what frame to proceed in that movie I try to write this in actionscript I think it is easier to understand.
// I have 2 html files contact.html and home.html
// And I have one swf file named home.swf with 2 scenes named "home" and "contact"
// The home.html and the contact.html both contain the same home.swf movie
// currently I'm in home.html I like to getURL("../main/contact.html")
that loads the contact.html and the contact.html contains the home.swf but I like to proceed to the gotoAndStop("Scene",1) or gotoAndStop("contact",1)
I hope that was clear enough if you may know the answer please email me I have suffered a lot on this but I just couldn't come up with the answer.
Regards

Issue Using Window.open For A New Window...
this one is interesting...
i have a page called main.html which contains main.swf and the javascript function to open a new browser window... no problem there.
however, when I go to my frameset (index.html) which contains main.html.... and try go open a new window from the main.swf flash piece... i get a javascript error. what is going on with the frameset that is causing the open new window to fail?
try it out.
go to my site:
http://www.menuengine.com (index.html)
>> click on Arctic Thunder in the menu, then click on Character Work.
now go to http://www.menuengine.com/main.html and try the same thing... it works here.
the only difference is that you first tried it from a frameset housing main.html
any clue?
here's the code that's in main.html
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function popupwindow(){
window.open("The file that you want to pop up here","","height=350,width=500,menubar=0,resizable =0,scrollbars=0,status=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0,left =0,top=0")
}
</script>
thx,

The Pop Up Window Does Not Play The Swf Instead Of Asking To Download The File?
I used this action script for the pop up window. http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm
I tested everything on my computer and the pop up window immediately plays the swf.
That's cool. When I loaded it to the server and tried to test it on the IE browser, the pop up window asks to download the file instead of playing it. I named the address on the script, “test.swf” not test.html as it stated. It has worked before on the browser.
Why is it asking to download the SWF this time?

Open New Window
Greetings,
I have created a button in Flash. I've assigned the "Get URL" action to it OnClick to open a new window which grabs an HTML page that has a QuickTime movie embedded. What I would like to happen is when the user clicks the button, the window that opens would be a specific size that is slightly larger than the QT movie. How do I do that?
Since I have got your attention, I have one more question—Dreamweaver related. Again, I have a button. I inserted a "rollover" button (from the tool pallette) into a layer. I've added the Behavior to open another window at a specific size. The problem is, the behavior options only allow this to happen OnMouseOver. I want it to happen OnClick. Do I need to acquire additonal Behaviors? Got any clues? I'd like to do this action without having to open the HTML and futz with the code but if I have to well...ok.
Thanks

Open Up A Window Again...plz Help Me
Hi, I have recently added a window with scrollable text in it, on my site that Im working on. I got it from a tutorial here on Flash Kit. What the tutorial explained was how to create a window with scrollable text, also with close and minimize buttons. What the tutorial did not explain was how to open the window again if someone wanted to!!That's what I really need to know now. Please can someone help?
PS: I have made the button to open the window, but dont know what actions to give it.
PSS: I'm not talking about a browser window, Im talking about re-opening a flash window.
Much Appreciation,
Vox

Open New Window
high everyone,
just a quick easy question im sure, i have a site and it has pop up HTML windows, these windows are sized and have no scroll bar and all the other stuff but........
when i try to open more than one it doesnt open a new window it just changes the HTML in the old pop up window thats already open, this looks really crappy as all the windows are at the right size
is there a way of gettting it to open more than one pop up window at a time.
im using the following java to size and open the new window
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> var javascript_version = 1.0; </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1"> javascript_version = 1.1; </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var newwin;
function launchwin(winurl,winname,winfeatures)
{
</SCRIPT>
this is placeed in the parent movies HTML with and
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:launchwin('index.html' , 'newwindow' , 'height=800,width=1023')");
