downloadable file from flash page

[bugg]

I'm guessing that is probably done in Java, but really don't have a clue. I would like to have a button in my page that when pressed would initiate the download of a PDF file to the viewer's machine. Can somebody explain this to me, or point me to somewhere I can learn how to do this, please...

thanks much

couldn't you just have a button that calls the pdf with the get url action..it will automatically prompt the user to download the file..

i think..

Okay, So, if I get you correctly, then it should look something like this???

on (press) {
getURL ("folder/my file.pdf&quot
}

...and it will propmt the viewer to download "my file"?

thanks
