How to make a download link

1

I want to make it so people can download a mp3 from my website but I cannot figure out how to make this work in flash. Right now i’m hyperlinking to the mp3 but that just opens it in a media player and does not let the user download the file to there comptuers. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks

A quick fix would be to just zip it- most people have winzip or an equivalent, and most if not all browsers will automatically try to download it, instead of opening it.

That is a good idea… so is what i’m trying to do even possible?

Yes, use a server-side script to force the browser to download the file.

I guess, you’ll want some help with that, yes?
