hi everyone, i know this is not a flash question but i have some problems, when i want to download a zip file , i click the link and it downloads immediatly, it never asks if i want to save it on the desktop or another place, it just downloads it and immediatly opens it, and i dont want that to happen, do you know how to fix this’?☹

I have never seen that problem!  
It always asks if I want to open it, save it somewhere etc.

I have that same problem Eberth.

I want to know how to fix it too, it is annoying.

But if you are clicking on a link to a .zip file the only way around it that I have found is to right click and choose “Save File As”, this works great.

And I am in the same situation, I have no clue how it got like that. I just went to download one day and it automatically did it, it has been like that since.

I had this prob once but fixed it…

Open up \*\*My Computer \*\* go up to **Tools** then **Folder Options** , then go to the tab **File Types** , find the **.Zip** extension, highlight it hit the **Advanced** button (Win XP) or hit **Properties** (Win 98 i believe), and make sure **Confirm Open After Download** is checked.

That should do the trick. =)

Enjoy

Oh and first post for me in this forum. :crazy:

Thanks BugMan, I would have never been able to figure that out, it is the most obscure way of going about it.

I was trying to figure it out in the program itself…LOL.

I can be stupid sometimes though… :crazy:

“Blur haha gezz man”

Not sure what you meant by that… was I right in how you got your name, or am I just same crazy blur fan…lol.

And about the footer, yeah, there is no way I can fix that, well there is one way, but with that one way causes a problem where if your mouse is all the way to the right then you can’t even see the text :-\

I think the way it is now is better than that though :-\

But yes, I have noticed it.

Oh ok, I am a blur fan, but I love techno music too. I like Aphex Twin, Prodigy, Dieselboy, Squarepusher, etc.

I like too many different variations of music… except rap and country.

Anywho, why use hitTest? Just do \_x coords.

```auto

lowX = 0;
highX = 400;
if (this._x >= highX){
    this._x = highX;
}
if (this._x <= lowX){
    this._x = lowX;
}

```

Where lowX is how far to the left it can go and highX is how far to the right it can go.
