I have a problem. I created a button in flash and I attached the following actionscript to it

on (press) {  
getURL(“a.zip”, “\_blank”, “GET”);.

I thought that this would download the zipped file to my desktop. However, when I click on this button, the progress bar comes up for the stuffit expander and it looks like the download finishes. I have all my files stored in the same place so I know it’s not that. When I go to look on my desktop for the file, it is not there. Does anyone know how to correct this?
