How 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 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 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();

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.

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.

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 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.

View 0 RepliesWhat is the best free resource to use for the purpose of letting users view files (pdf) online without any option for them to download those files in any way? Flexpaper could be a solution but it is said here that:
Natively, FlexPaper does not protect PDFs from being printed or copied. It actually lacks options for doing so on the JavaScript front-end.However in its Commercial License (to take the branding off for 1 domain) contains a ReadOnly parameter to disable printing & copying.
N.B: I want to use php for scripting purpose.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create an image viewer, with a next and previous button. The buttons work, but the problem is that when the button is clicked before the image runs its full course, it messes up the position of the image. eg. if the image is set to move 400px and the next button is clicked when the image is at 300px, it moves from the 300px mark and not the 400px mark causing part of the second image to show under the mask.
I need to somehow disable the button after it is clicked and then enable it once the image has moved the full course. Here is a snippet of my code
