Ok, I have link to a .zip file and a link to a .sit from flash. Is there an easy way of opening the 'save as' dialogue box without causing any other browzer activity? (ie: new windows etc) Thanks!

dont think so, but using flash linked to a zip file should just start the process of "save as" anyways :)

Yeah it should do, but it reloads the browser window on my machine at the moment :( i was also kinda lookin to do the 'save as' thing with different files like, mp3s etc.

you can use javascript to force a right-click action on the link. Just pop an alert telling them they need to right click when they left click on it.

unfortunately javascript alerts are not allowed (corporate standards and that bollocks). i think you're talking about HTML tho, no?

sorry to say there's no way to do it then. really it's a security issue and it's a good thing that you can't force someone to download something from an HTML doc. Here's a good thread that covered a similar issue:
