This is probably a really stupid question but...<br />
<br />
I have a link to a Flash .swf file on my page, which I want the user to be able to use to Download <!--more--> the file.<br />
<br />
But when the link is clicked, instead of bringing up the 'save' dialogue box, it just opens the .swf in the browser. <br />
<br />
Could anyone tell me how I can tell the browser that this link should Download <!--more--> the file instead of opening it in the browser?<br />
<br />
I think the reason it's doing this is because I have my browser set as the default application for standalone Flash movies...but obviously there is a big chance that many other people also have this too...so how can I force the Download <!--more-->?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot for any help.<!--content-->Zip it is the easy way.<!--content-->if pyro was here and had read this, he would have posted this link:<br />

I didn't understand that link - seemed to be how to bring up a text file in the browser based on a dynamic call...it didn't Download <!--more--> anything when I tried it.
