Downloading files through flash interface

[el-roboto]

Hello

Creating a simple flash interface to allow users to download a selection of images, pdf's, videos.

The projector and all of the files are going onto a CD and being sent out to reps, what I'm wondering is how I can create a link in flash which downloads a specified file from the cd to the users machine - giving them control over the download location along the way

That's a good question. I'd be interested in that too. I know you can use getURL to download from the internet, and that may work off of the CD. Not sure exactly how though...When I have some free time I'm gonna look into this more.

yeah then theres the download() browse() functionality which are great additions to flash 8 but i don't see why it should only work with urls.

maybe in the next release.

for now im expecting some horribly complicated work around!!
