Hi all,

Does anyone know the command to prompt people to open / save a movie file when they click on a link / button?  
say…  
I have a \*.mov file uploaded into the website and I want people to download the file instead of downloading it in the current window or a new window.

The actionscript I currently have is:

on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.cerulean-lapis.net/clips/Logo.mov](http://www.cerulean-lapis.net/clips/Logo.mov)”, \_blank);

}

If I just leave it without \_blank, it’ll download in the current window and that is not what I want, and I know that \_top, \_parent or \_self won’t prompt the people to download as well. Does anyone know? (hope my explanation is clear enough)
