I have a few buttons rigged up for downloading word.doc, mp3 etc
Problem is its opening the file rather than giving a download this file option.
I have a dynamically loaded data through xml, and I want to include an option to download a file (.rar) on a link click.

View 1 RepliesSo I basically have used the fileReference class to allow the user to download a determined file if he wants to.
I use the file.download(URL) function and it works well.
However, the file is downloaded and saved to the hard drive using only the flash player. The browser is not aware of the download, and thus, if I want to show the progress of the download I'd have to make some progress bar myself. I know how to do it, but it would become really tedious and take too much UI space.
Isn't there a damn way in Flash to "send" a determined file to the browser so that it prompts the user to download it? It's an image file, so navigateToURL doesn't cut it since it will just display the image, both if I use a new tab or the current one.
i am trying to make a button that when clicked will prompt the user to downalod a file to a target directory of the users choice. I have tried using URLRequest but it just opens the mp3 on another window with qiucktime which, i suspect, will happen with most users. is there a simple way to do this? i have no problem creating the button its just the function code for the button im lost on.url...
View 2 RepliesI'm making a presentation in flash. I want users to be able to click on a button and download a jpeg file.
View 1 RepliesTried to use geturl and that does not solve, for I want the button click to cause the browser to actually download the file, not play it. With geturl, some browsers will play the mp3 and the user is left wondering still how to download it to their own computer.
This is code I was trying to use to cause button link to cause file to be downloaded. I have 6 files, was going to make this for each button. But it doesn't work.
ActionScript Code:
demo_audio.mtdemo.onPress=function()
{
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest("fielnamehere.mp3");
[Code]...
I want to create a button (in flash 8) that once clicked will download a file to the users' pc. It's a common button but there doesnt seem to be many tutorials on this subject.
View 2 RepliesHow do I make a button allow the viewer to download a .doc file? I've used this code to open a pdf file in a new window and it works but not for a .doc??
on (press, release) {
getURL("myfile.pdf", "_blank");
}
I would like to know if there is any way to find out the destination path of the saved file using the download() method of the filereference class.Cos if that is possible then i could do navigateToURL(_path,_blank) to open that downloaded file in browser Or if there is any other way to do this i would like to know. [If any other thread exists please link to it which answers this]

View 2 RepliesI'm a teacher, and so animations are a God-send. However, the internet in my school can often be a little temperamental and so I like to download flash files, often embedding them into a PPT presentation.However, as of late, I've come across a few that I just can't seem to download. Please note that I am not after the credit for these files, or any way to edit them, I just want to be able to download them to show at my will, regardless of the internet working.The file that I'm currently struggling is a great animation on rocks and the rock cycle:

I can download the SWF, but it will do nothing but sit at "Loading: 1%"...Is it even possible to download this file?The same has been true of files over at eChalk - our school has a subscription, but again, if the internet plays up, no animations.
Basically I created a flash site and uploaded it onto the server provider the client chose using cute ftp. That's all fine but now they want to add a link enabling the viewer to download a PDF straight to their desktop. As I can't upload a PDF file to the Flash library, was wondering if anyone had any tips on creating this function?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a project where the user can click a button to download a pdf file. My issue is that it works fine, until you try to download it in IE. IE shows something happen, but then nothing happens... looks as though you download the file but then when you go to look for it, its not there. I have tried 2 different methods, both work until, like i said I bring it into IE. [code]...
View 1 RepliesI want my flash site to convert currency.Therefore I want it to get the currency rates from internet.At first, I wanted to do it by using web services but the one free I found : [URL] doesn't work properly So I decided to use another way by getting my rates from the
following RSS file :

All is ok, I got the rates I am interested in by parsing the RSS .But all is ok when I am testing locally, when I put my file on my hosting server, the rates cannot be retrieved anymore, it looks as if there is a connection problem.
Is there a way to download a file with AS3 code from a server (other than creating a text hyperlink to be clicked), or is there a way to add a file to your library and then show it in you timeline. I am specifically referring to a .pdf file.

View 8 RepliesIn my AIR app, I have a list of file that needs to be downloaded from remote server. I want to make this download happen sunchronously. [code]...
View 1 RepliesI would like to do this, without the "readfile()" part:
header("Content-type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
header("Content-length: ".filesize($file));
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename="".basename($file).""");
readfile("$file");
Basically I am trying to forward a download to another URL but at the same time I need to be able to set headers like "filename".
The readfile($file) function will not do it for me, because the the $file is not stored on the same server as the PHP script (not even the same datacenter) Is this even possible ? If not via PHP, maybe FLASH could do this ?
