Hi folks,

I’m making an interactive cd in flash, I’m wondering how I can prompt the user with a way of saving video files (.mp4) to their computers.

Ideally they would click on a ‘download video’ button and then would be prompted with the usual window allowing them to choose where to save the file and name it.

Is there a way to do this within flash?

I’ve been using fscommand to launch files, can it be used to save files as well??

Thanks for any help
