Hi everyone,

I have a question. How do i get flash to “download” a file. I would like a button to link to a zip file. Upon clicking the button the zip file loads to my desktop how do i do that. Its the same effect one sees when a person downloads a screensaver onto the desktop. How is this done? Help!
