Hello everyone,

i’m facing a problem - and it’s kinda urgent. I’d like to let users download mp3 from my site, not streamed, not with a flashcomponent, nothing.

I’d just like to press() my little button and there goes the windows/mac prompt that says “download file” and “choose destination folder” and the likes.

I’ve tried slapping a little popup window opened in JS from flash, linking directly to the mp3, but it opens quicktime instead of d/l it. It works if I zip the file, but I’d rather have no zip files…

Is there a way to do this? I’m taking all tips and hints. Thanks in advance.

Pomme

[this is a crosspost from another wellknown flash forum, but I’m just trying to have a quick answer, and since i can’t find the answer anywhere (and i’ve search a minimum prorata) i’m guessing it could be usefull to anyone…maybe]
