I’m using this to download a file, but I’m going to have my movie on a CD, and I’d like to download the document from the CD instead of a URL. getURL(“[http://www.expresiv.com/test/SystemRequirements.zip](http://www.expresiv.com/test/SystemRequirements.zip)”, “\_blank”); Is it possible to do that? I’ve tried putting the document in the same directory as my SWF, but its not working. I tried calling it this way: getURL(“SystemRequirements.zip”, “\_blank”); Any suggestions? Thanks ahead of time. ---

try using: getURL(“file:///D:/SystemRequirements.zip”,\_blank); This is assuming that your cd drive is D and is in the root directory of the cd drive… ---
