ActionScript 2.0 :: Link To Download PDF (not Open)
Apr 29, 2006
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: [URL] But when I try to do it, there are errors, and its way above me to fix. 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).

I've created a flash naviagation menu and currenlly my links will open a pop up window. I don't want this. I want it to open the link in the same window. Here is the code for one of the links:
var home:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.html");
function homeDown(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(home,"_self");}
button_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,homeDown);

Basically, this is a button that (when clicked) is supposed to allow the user to download an MP3 file. It works as planned except that when the button is clicked, the MP3 just opens up in the browser or in Windows Media Player or whatever default "playing" application the user has. I want it to work in the same way as when you right-click a link and choose "Save Link As..." so that when they click it they actually will save the MP3 file itself to their computer (so, the "Save" dialog box will pop up when they click the link), instead of the file just opening/playing.

i am downloading tiff images from WAMP server using our Flex AIR client. Using the following code for that.
public static function requestDownload(id:int, defaultName:String):void {
//POST params
var urlVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
[Code].....
No issues with the download. It automatically prompts for a Save dialog. Works well. But i want to open the image being downloaded in a viewer(flash viewer or any) instead of the save dialog.

I am trying to have multiple links off site but have hit a brick wall. If I have the code listed below, it opens the second link as soon as you open the links page, If I have the"function onLinkClick (evt)", above btn6_btn I end up with the duplicate error message. Is there a way to have multiple link buttons on a page. I have played with this for hours.

I want my app (AIR app ported on iOS) to be able to show file located on the remote server and open it with default app (if there's one on device). Is it possible (maybe one can somehow use openWithDefaultApp here)?
UPD: I succeed with downloading (into File.documentsDirectory). I can't force iPad to open downloaded files.
UPD2: I tried to use both openWithDefaultApp and NavigateToUrl.

I'm making a Flash website using Actionscript 3.0 and I'd like to feature a file for download, however the user will have to pay for said download. Ideally, I'd like just a "Download Now!" button on a certain page, then the user would be sent to PayPal and the downloading would commence.How do I set that, or something similar, up?

The http:[url].... has an incredibly slow search functionality. I use a greasemonkey search plugin that is much much faster and works with the standard style javadocs. Anyone have a link to the old version of the AS3 API docs that were of the standard style?

I have a movie that is going to be playing in our onLine Learning Site. I want to include a link to download a few documents, and I just don't know how to do that.I do Not KNOW what the complete HTTP url will be, just the directory path by that I mean, I know the files will be in "VideoFilesHighRes1.MOV" but I don't have access to the complete URL. This isnt a problem when it comes to loading other Flash objects (IE sounds, different clips etc) For some reason I didn't think the "getURL" request was valid in AS 3.0.....

I have an standalone flash projector file, running from a CD-rom. on the CD-rom I also have a .pdf file. I want to create a link where the user can download this file to the desktop. surely there's a better way of accessing the file rather than using getURL? hopefully because getURL is causing sporadic crashing of my movie!

We've all been to driver download pages where you select your model from one combobox list and then that choice populates the next combobox of choices and then that combobox choice spawns a link to the driver.Combobox 1 will display a list of 14 items. Each item in that list has a subset of 3-4 items that will appear in combobox 2 once a selection is made. Then when a selection is made in combobox 2 a link will appear for a download

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?

I understand that PlUpload supports several runtimes (html5, html4, gears, flash, etc). But most browsers now a days support flash. And most other file uploaders (namely: uploadify, fancy upload, to name afew) would function via a combination of javascript and flash. And the same file uploaders only support ONE runtime, which is flash. Even if the flash player plugin is not installed. A developer can easily integrate flash detection tools and redirect users to a download link. Which is most common for several sites.

I work with 3d animation. Im have a problem with a personal website Im doing, I have a link in a button inside a flash movie to open a new window and play a youtube movie:
on (release) {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.youtube.com/v/b0L4XLODhAA&hl=en&fs=1&','win','height=344,width=4 25,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
}
This works fine in Firefox but in IE it doesnt work, I then change the /v/ in the youtube link with /p.swf?video_id= and now I have the window open showing the small youtube thumbnail of my video but once a click play, nothing happens, I check it and is not loading anything.

When I am opening a link from a shell (exe or Projector), its opening behind the projector or exe.
How can I make that browser window to get open over my project's exe ? Note: my projector is running in full screen mode and it is standalone not in a browser.
