Download trigger within a SWF-file (flash 8)

[DIMITRI]

Hi there. How can you make a button that triggers a download of a file? Which actionscript is needed? In comparison : within Dreamweaver you simply point to a file so that your button in HTML (not in a swf-file) is linked with a file to download. But how you can fix that within a swf-file placed on a webpage?

If you have the fla file you can put a button anywhere in the fla file in any frame you want, preferably the the first frame. Then click on the button, should get a border around it, go to the actionscript panel, and use
on(release){
getURL("yourfile.exe","_self","POST");
}
for the actionscript.
