i have created a flash projector cdrom... i am trying to create a link on the page to a .zip file. Once the user has clicked on the link i want the 'save as' dialogue to open..
does anyone know how to trigger this..
Thanks n advance!!

I think you can just use a getURL to the file and it should offer the "open" or "save as" dialogue.
does this not work?

a getURL from a projector will first open the browser and then come with that query. kind of unnecessary if you ask me. why not make it a self extracting archive and fire it up by using fscommand's exec?

i did use the fscommand and .bat files to open the document in the appropriate programs.. but hte bl@&dy client wants the user to be able to download the file rather then open it......

well if that's the case than the only option is the getURL undo suggested but then you have to accept the fact that the browser will be started first as well and than you'll run into other issues such as the browser (and query) not showing up in front on some machines etc.

you could also just point the user to the folder where the zip is by saying so. you know, like saying: avail. as zip, check the resources folder on this cd-rom or something.
