does anyone know how NOT to load mp3's dynamically in Flash MX? I use a simple getUrl action, and they load into the movie. I want viewers to be able to save locally.

so you want them to download it? or you want them to access a pre-existing mp3 on there HD?

i always zip or stuff anything I want a user to download. Usually I just Zip it because macs and pcs can both unzip a zip file easily.

there are perl and php scripts out there that will force download. but I dont know a good one offhand.

You have to change the header info for it to recognize as a download.

really? I would be very interested to hear how that works. It was always my understanding that it was the client's prefence file to the browser that determined whether how a file would be handled. If what you say is true then that could be a very wonderful addition to my daily programming life!
