how can i make a link that downloads a file without opening a browser window since it will be in a standalone autorun cd. I want the user to click and have the option to save the song off the cd onto there computer...right now im using geturl and it opens a blank broswer screen..anyone?

zip the file, then the user will click and it will give them the option to open, save, etc.

id prefer not zipping the file just cause its for a massive distro i want it just to make them save the mp3 but if i cant figure anything out that is what i will do...only thing it has to be for both mac and pc thats why i perfer just havingthem save the MP3.

I'm pretty sure MAC and PC users can all open a zip file.

check out .bat files, very easy to use

the zip thign still opens a borswer window. its a flash exe but it draws SWF to the proper sections once clicked...it going to be used like an enhanced cd...so the swf has to be able to download the mp3 off the cd...so i dont think fscommands work

UndoUndo: can you explain more how you would use batch files to do this?
