Hi,  
What is the Action Script code that makes me able to make a download link? I used “getURL” but this way user is forced to open the file, I want to make him able to download the file and save it to his hard disk. How I can make this?

For Example, if the file was an audio file, I don’t want it to open directly with the default player, I want to make user free to save it to his PC or play it online.
